Sajeeb Wazed Joy, grandson of Bangabandhu and a former adviser to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has slammed the Yunus-led administration for trying to divert attention from its misdeeds and mass protests by having the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) make false claims against him.
In a post on X, he also asked the ACC to seize his property if it could, saying: โI challenge them to come do it. My lawyers will be waiting to sue ACC’s Momen in US courts.โ
Sajeeb Wazed also detailed his list of assets in the US and said he has earned money legally as an IT entrepreneur and paid taxes accordingly.

I have nothing to hide: Tulip Siddiq challenges Muhammad Yunus
โI don’t own two homes in Virginia. I own one. It was purchased in 2018, not last year. Last year the name on the title was changed to just me as my divorce was finalized. The other house was my previous one, which was sold and the money was used to buy this one. The value of my own house has also increased $1.5 million or Tk18 crore since I purchased it. I paid much less than the current price.โ
He added that the FBI had already investigated him and found nothing. โThat is how I got my US citizenship so quickly after the Yunus dictatorship canceled my Bangladesh passport.โ
He also censured the ACC for publishing his address and putting him under threat.
โHere is another reality about America. We have the right to own as many guns and keep as much ammunition as we want. There is no limit. So, it does not scare me. I am very capable of defending myself. My house is not #32. There is nothing the Yunus regime can do to me.โ
Earlier, Sajeeb Wazedโs cousin and former UK minister Tulip Siddiq challenged Yunus and the ACC to prove the politically motivated allegations brought against her.
