Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of the recently resigned Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has stated that the Awami League is ready to engage in discussions with all parties, provided they renounce violence and extremism. He emphasized that despite previous declarations of stepping away from politics, the current chaotic situation in Bangladesh requires their involvement to restore democracy. Joy reassured party members of their unwavering support and commitment to protecting the country and the Awami League. Full Statement: "We said we wouldn't return to politics, but the country needs us for democracy. The current chaotic situation in Bangladesh, with widespread vandalism, looting, and attacks on our members, has resulted in many deaths. The Awami League, as the oldest democratic party that liberated this country, cannot be destroyed. We must continue to work for a democratic Bangladesh and protect our members. Stand strong, for you are not alone. The family of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is with you, ready to take necessary actions to safeguard the country and our party."
