Washington, DC (USA), August 11 (ANI): Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina, claimed that there is no Democracy in the country after the new interim government is formed. "In a way, I welcome it because these people have been championed by the minority, by the elite, and by the West. I personally believe, having seen the functioning of government and having served as a government, as an honorary advisor to the government, that it is one thing to be handpicked and appointed to a position. It's a whole other thing to govern and without political experience, without governance experience, it is very, very difficult to run a country. I'm actually curious to see how they will perform, and whether they are even capable of running the country. However, the point is that our Supreme Court has ruled and our Constitution says that a non-elected government cannot run a country even for 1 minute. Right now, this is an unconstitutional government. They are not elected. So there is no Democracy in Bangladesh. They are talking about democracy, but there is no Democracy...If they want to have Democracy, they have to have elections. And our Constitution is very clear on this provision that from the day parliament is dissolved, new elections have to be held within 90 days. There is no way around it. There is no such thing as an interim government in the Constitution which can stay in power beyond 90 days. That does not exist. So I believe that this government's priority should be to hold elections as soon as possible," said Wazed.
