Hasina's Retirement Rumors Intensify, Awami League's Silence Fuels Suspense

• Speculation mounts in Bangladeshi media about Sheikh Hasina's withdrawal from active politics, potentially handing control to son Sajeeb Wazed Joy.
• Report suggests this move would be disastrous for the Awami League, citing Joy's lack of political base, grassroots experience, and fluency in Bangla.
• Joy is accused of corruption, financial manipulation, and abuse of power during Hasina's 15-year rule, with links to controversial cases like PayPal services failure and 5G spectrum deals.
• The 'Center for Research and Information' (CRI), presented as a good governance initiative, is alleged to be a hidden operation by Joy for extortion, disappearing after Hasina stepped down.
• Joy's associates are reportedly collecting over $15 million monthly for 'international lobbying' and attempting to marginalize Hasina, portraying her as 'old' and politically irrelevant.
