In an interview, Sajeeb Wazed, the son of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, said his mother offered private condolences to RoyÕs father. But the political situation in Bangladesh is too volatile for her to comment publicly, he said. Roy was an avowed atheist; the book he was promoting when he was killed is titled ÔThe Virus of Faith.Õ
ÔÔWe are walking a fine line here,Õ said Wazed, an informal consultant for the ruling party, the Awami League. ÔWe donÕt want to be seen as atheists. It doesnÕt change our core beliefs. We believe in secularism,Ó he said. ÒBut given that our opposition party plays that religion card against us relentlessly, we canÕt come out strongly for him. ItÕs about perception, not about reality.Ó
