"How can you ban the oldest and largest political party in Bangladesh? It's not legally possible." - Joy

In an interview with TIME, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, stated that no decision has been made regarding her participation in the next national election. Joy expressed frustration over the reversal of her efforts over the past 15 years. Discussing the quota movement, he mentioned the surprise it caused. Joy also supported the idea of an interim government running the country for 12 to 18 months, citing current lawlessness. He acknowledged mistakes during the crackdown but attributed at least half the killings to terrorists backed by foreign intelligence.
