Sheikh Hasina's return to Bangladesh: India wants Dhaka to fulfil two conditions
India is reportedly negotiating the return of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to Dhaka, provided the Bangladesh military facilitates the transport and guarantees a fair trial. Hasina has been sentenced to death in absentia following the 2024 uprising.
Why it matters
The resolution of Hasina's status is critical for stabilizing diplomatic relations between India and Bangladesh and addressing regional political tensions.
Over two years after Sheikh Hasina fled to India, New Delhi is reportedly looking to send the former Bangladesh prime minister back to Dhaka, but has laid down two conditions for Tarique Rahman's government.According to a BBC Bangla report, India wants Bangladesh to send a military aircraft to bring Hasina back from New Delhi. However, the proposal comes with conditions, as Hasina has been sentenced to death by a Bangladeshi court over her government's crackdown on protesters during the July 2024 uprising.The first condition is that the Bangladesh army must take responsibility for bringing its longest-serving leader Hasina back, preferably using a military aircraft.
