Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s stay in India is ending tomorrow Thursday. There is a lot of speculation about what will happen next. G-News has published a report on this under the title ‘Legitimate period of stay in India ends this week, speculation about Hasina’s fate’. Here it is presented.
The outcry that was in Bangladesh a few days ago about the return of Sheikh Hasina to the country has calmed down a bit. Meanwhile, Sheikh Hasina’s stay in India ends on Thursday itself. That is, the 45 days he can stay in India on the basis of diplomatic passport is being completed on that day. Now the question is what India will do after that.
Question in the political circles, Sheikh Hasina will stay in India from Friday according to any law. On Tuesday, a spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of India said that there is no possibility that Sheikh Hasina will be handed over to Bangladesh even though her stay in India has expired due to her diplomatic passport. So why will Sheikh Hasina stay in India? Argument in some circles, maybe Hasina can be given ‘temporary’ political asylum like the Dalai Lama of Tibet.
It should be noted that Sheikh Hasina left for India on August 5 due to public protests. Since then he has remained in India. Bangladesh government canceled his diplomatic passport. As a result, staying in India now depends on India’s decision.
After Sheikh Hasina left the country, BNP and other parties in that country raised the demand that Sheikh Hasina should be brought to India and tried. Incidentally, a murder case has already been filed against him. Now if India does not want to return Sheikh Hasina, what will Bangladesh do? Will the Yunus government go into conflict with India or not want to attack India now?
The Foreign Secretary of Bangladesh said on Tuesday that they do not know under which law Sheikh Hasina is in India. Dhaka did not want to know anything about it from India. However, not everything is governed by the law. Anyone who wants to can be given asylum in India.
There are many risks of returning Hasina to the country. If he is returned to the country, the Awami League can go down the street again. This can spread great discontent in the country. Also, if Hasina is brought to the country and tried, she will not leave the international community. With this, Bangladesh’s relations with foreign countries will deteriorate. According to some circles, the Yunus government is somewhat quiet about Sheikh Hasina due to those multiple reasons.
