Sheikh Hasina's Bangladesh Return In December? 2 Conditions India Wants Dhaka To Fulfil
New Delhi reportedly wants Dhaka to ensure her safety and allow an appeal and retrial before any handover, according to BBC Bangla.
- New Delhi is reportedly working to return Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to Dhaka via military aircraft, provided Prime Minister Tarique Rahman guarantees her security and allows a fair trial, according to a BBC Bangla report published Thursday.
- After more than two years in exile in New Delhi, Hasina faces dwindling options as India's attempts to find a third country willing to host her have failed, making her continued presence diplomatically uncomfortable.
- Hasina aims to return in December, though her aide Nazmul Haque claimed on Friday that "no country has shown willingness to host" her, leaving her viewing the return as a last resort.
- India's Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal declined to confirm the reported conditions on Friday, stating, "I have nothing to say on that," while the Prime Minister Tarique Rahman-led government remained silent.
- A return would force a complex legal reckoning, as Hasina faces a death sentence in absentia; her return hinges on whether Dhaka accepts conditions including a retrial amid the ongoing diplomatic standoff.
