Asked about the uprising in Bangladesh that ousted his mother, Sajeed Wazeb, the son of Sheikh Hasina, says the Awami League 'mishandled the protests'.

She is the leader of the people, the torchbearer of the ideology of #Bangabandhu and the architect of modern #Bangladesh. She survived 19 attacks on her life. She turned 🇧🇩 into a development model. Her journey is nothing less than an epic.
Happy Birthday, #SheikhHasina
Nation will observe the National Mourning Day today recalling with a heavy heart #Bangabandhu on the 43rd anniversary of his martyrdom.
The killing of Bangabandhu & most of his family members on the fateful night of August 15, 1975 is the ugliest chapter of the nation’s history.
