Whenever we ask the leader (Hasina) about it, she says he doesn’t want to (come to the fore) now. He is not interested yet,” Quader told reporters at a press conference at the party chief’s Dhanmondi offices in Dhaka on Friday. The reporters asked Quader whether Joy would assume a central leadership role in the 21st council of the party. Grassroots leaders had demanded during the last council that Joy be put in a leadership role in the party, but he did not agree, Quader said. Before the last council, Quader had said along with Bangabandhu and Hasina, the council’s focus would be on Joy as “our future leader”.
