‘Hypothetical Question’: On Possibility Of Sheikh Hasina’s Extradition, MEA’s Response
News 18External affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the possibility of ousted Bangladesh’s former prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s extradition is a ‘hypothetical question’ while responding to a query on whether she will be extradited. Bangladesh’s war crimes tribunal is to seek the extradition of ousted leader Sheikh Hasina from neighbouring India, its chief prosecutor has said, accusing her of carrying out “massacres”. Jaiswal’s remarks come amid concerns about the timely implementation of projects funded under India’s three lines of credit following the ouster of the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government last month after a mass uprising. Finance Adviser Salehuddin Ahmed also said that Dhaka looks forward to “enhanced cooperation” with New Delhi during his meeting with Indian High Commissioner Pranay Verma here, the state-run BSS news agency reported.
