Sheikh Hasina Wajed (born September 28, 1947) is the President of the Bangladesh Awami League and daughter of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. She was one of only two members of her family to survive a bloody 1975 coup, as she was studying abroad in West Germany with her sister at the time.
Her party won only 62 seats against the led 4 party coalition (- JP - IS) in the October 2001 Parliamentary Election. Currently she is the leader of the opposition. But under her leadership, the Awami League decided not to take part in any democratic process including attending the parliament.
On August 21, 2004 Ms Wajed escaped with minor injuries when several grenades were detonated while she was addressing a crowd in Dhaka. 19 people were reported killed and hundreds injured in the attack
