New Generation Leaders In Bangladesh?
The recent upsurge of student agitation and its culmination by change of guard and installation of the new government under Noble Luminaratee has given broad indications that politics will change its face source says. The son of ex-PM Hasina Sheikh and Awami leader Sajib Vazid Joy, considered to be the political successor has been residing in the USA for many years but his immediate responses to the ouster of his mother on political happenings have given a broad impression that he will soon join politics soon source says. Begam Khalida Zia, the ex-PM and leader of the Nationalist Party has been freed by the new government but remaining in jail for many years has hampered her health badly perhaps will not join active politics but his son Tariq Rahman is planning to return and join politics source says. The widespread participation of BNP leaders and workers in agitation and afterwards, if taken as a clue, the BNP is politically very strong on the ground and incoming days go for government formation source says. The initial stand of the son of Sheikh Hasina was that she would not participate in politics and opt for retirement has been altered and a new statement says that she is likely to return from exile but not in active politics source says. The situation is fluid but hints that the era of Sheikh Hasina and Khalida Zia is over and a new generation of political leaders is to take the central stage source says.
