While speculations regarding the former prime minister's next step are rife, Bangladesh’s interim government revoking Hasina's diplomatic passport may have set a clock ticking on her stay in India. The security services division of the country's home affairs ministry announced that the diplomatic passport of Sheikh Hasina, her advisors, ex-cabinet members, and all members of the recently dissolved 12th Jatiya Sangsad, along with their spouses, would be revoked with immediate effect.
