Bangladesh has publicly denounced Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as a convicted criminal and has formally requested her extradition, a move that could strain diplomatic ties.
Bangladesh’s foreign ministry issued a statement today calling Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina a convicted criminal and demanding her extradition to face charges in the country. The request follows a series of legal claims that Bangladesh alleges have not been addressed in India. The Indian government has not yet issued a formal response to the extradition demand. The move is expected to heighten tensions between the two South Asian neighbours. Analysts warn that the extradition request could complicate existing diplomatic engagements and trade discussions between the two countries.
