Is Saima Wazed entering public life?
The international conference onAutism in Dhaka with high profile
participants like the Indian National CongressPresident and chief of
the UPA government Sonia Gandhi as chief guest with someother special
dignitaries saw in the sidelines the presence of another new facein
the person of Saima Hossain Wazed ( Putul) last week
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasinapresented her daughter to the audience as
a social worker and specialist onautistic disorder who, she said, as
an organiser of the conference from behindthe scene has inspired her
to make arrangement.
But political analysts in thecapital wonder something that may have
bearing beyond the conference, ended atthe week-end after three-day
technical sessions with the adaptation of theDhaka declaration to set
up a joint platform to fight for the cause at regionallevel.
But they wonder at the same timewhy Sajeeb Wazed Joy, the Prime Minister's son
and her sister Sheikh Rehana weremost conspicuous by their absence
from the floor.
It may be part of a strategy,they said to allow Saima Wazed a singular
demonstrative outreach from theconference floor not be overshadowed by
any other family member.
It may be a good explanation ofthe absence of Joy. But how can one
explain the absence or lack of visibilityof Sheikh Rehana from the
floor, they said wondering is it also an agreeddecision or part of a
unilateral decision of the Prime Minister to go alone.
The high profile projection ofSaima Wazed at the opening of the
conference, her intensive interactions withSonia Gandhi on the floor
and the constant presence on the conference flooruntil it ended
brought her time and again on the TV camera lance portraying
heractivities as an emerging face to public life.
But analysts wonder how to lookinto the absence of Rehana from the
scene. Is it that she is going into thesideline in the way Ms Manika
Gandhi, widow of Sanjoy Gandhi disappeared fromthe center of politics
of the Gandhi family?
In India Rahul and Priyanka arenow dominating the political thinking
as the future heir of the Gandhidynasty.
The Prime Minister may also bepromoting her daughter to public life,
the Autism conference may have promptedit and there is nothing wrong,
analysts' say. But it looks like an excitingnews to many, they say.
