In a significant development, the government of Bangladesh has formally requested the extradition of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from India. The move comes amid ongoing political tensions and legal challenges involving the high-profile leader.
According to sources within the Bangladeshi government, the request was made through diplomatic channels, citing pending legal cases against Hasina. The former PM has been in India for some time, reportedly seeking refuge following escalating political turmoil in Bangladesh.
The Indian government has yet to respond to the extradition request. Analysts suggest that the decision will likely involve careful consideration of bilateral relations, legal protocols, and international diplomatic obligations.
Sheikh Hasina, who served multiple terms as Bangladesh’s Prime Minister, remains a polarizing figure in the country’s political landscape. Her supporters view her as a visionary leader, while her critics accuse her of authoritarian practices.
The development has sparked intense debate in both Bangladesh and India, with political experts predicting potential implications for regional stability and bilateral ties.
