India says it is not involved with Bangladesh ex-PM Hasina's virtual address
Bangladesh says the event could harm bilateral ties as Hasina faces extradition demands and a death sentence for crimes against humanity.
- Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated on Tuesday that the Indian government has no involvement in the upcoming New Delhi event where Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is scheduled to speak, clarifying it is organized by a private entity.
- Bangladesh urged India to prevent Hasina from making political speeches from Indian territory, warning that such statements risk destabilizing bilateral relations, as High Commissioner of India to Dhaka Dinesh Trivedi discussed this with Foreign Affairs Adviser Humaiun Kobir.
- Dhaka has requested the extradition of Hasina and Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, and earlier, India noted that the request remains "under examination" given the legal processes involved.
- Following her resignation, the International Crimes Tribunal sentenced Hasina to death, with charges tied to a state crackdown on 2024 student-led demonstrations that led to the fall of her Awami League government.
- Hasina announced earlier that she intends to return to Bangladesh voluntarily around December, despite facing the prospect of arrest or death upon arrival after fleeing India in August 2024 following massive student-led protests.
