"The junior leaders of Awami League one day told Joy, son of Bangabandhu's daughter leader Sheikh Hasina, "We are here, we are with you when you become the prime minister." Joy says, "Prime Minister President begs votes from people. I will never become President or Prime Minister by begging for votes. If the you make me king then I am, otherwise I am not." Bangabandhu's daughter, leader Sheikh Hasina immediately said, "Son, we are the king, in the future you will be the king. Your grandfather was the king of this country, your grandfather created this country, owned this country. The servants conspired and killed your grandfather and seized the throne. Just as Alivardi Khan was the Nawab of Bengal, then his grandson Sirajddaula became the Nawab. Your grandfather Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was also the king of Bangladesh. In the future, You will be the king of Bangladesh. The modern name of King or Emperor is President-Prime Minister."
