Sheikh Hasina Extradition: The legal crisis against former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has started increasing in her own country. Since the caretaker government took power, there has been a flood of cases against Sheikh Hasina. Meanwhile, the acting foreign minister of Bangladesh said that what is the plan of the interim government regarding the extradition of Sheikh Hasina from India after the legal proceedings? Acting Foreign Minister Mohammad Tauheed Hussain said that many cases have been registered against Sheikh Hasina in the country. However, he refused to speculate further.
Hussain said this on extradition
According to the report, Tauhid Hussain said that if the country's home and law ministries decide, the government may have to request him to return to Bangladesh. He said such a situation would create diplomatic embarrassment for New Delhi. However, Hussain said that New Delhi “knows this and I am sure it will take care of it.”
Hussain met the Indian Ambassador
The foreign adviser to the interim government said on Monday earlier this week that former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's extended stay in New Delhi will have no impact on relations with neighbouring India. “Bilateral relations are a much bigger issue. Friendship is based on internal interests,” Hossain said. “We will always try to maintain our good relations,” Hossain said after a meeting with foreign diplomats in Dhaka on Monday. However, Hossain said interim government chief Yunus was very unhappy with the former prime minister's statements coming from India and had conveyed this to the Indian envoy in a meeting on Wednesday.
Many cases against Sheikh Hasina
After widespread protests in Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina resigned on August 5 and left the country for India. India has left the responsibility of deciding the future plan to Sheikh Hasina. Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal recently said that the Center has nothing to do with Sheikh Hasina's plans. 'We have no update about her plans.' 'The future depends on her.' Sheikh Hasina and other members of the Awami League are accused in two murder cases in Bangladesh. Along with this, a case has also been registered against Sheikh Hasina in the International Criminal Tribunal. While Bangladesh has an extradition treaty with India, this matter is also a tension for India.
