Sheikh Hasina’s extradition 'unrelated' to reported extension of her Indian visa: Bangladesh
India TV NewsDhaka: Bangladesh’s interim government led by Muhammad Yunus on Thursday said deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s reported extension of visa was unrelated to Dhaka’s request for her extradition to stand trial. Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal has issued arrest warrants for Hasina and several former Cabinet ministers, advisers, and military and civil officials for “crimes against humanity and genocide”. On Thursday, spokesman Rafiqul Alam added that Dhaka did not “have additional information, so we will not speculate” as he was asked for comments about the media reports that New Delhi recently extended Hasina’s visa while Bangladesh revoked her diplomatic passport. Bangladesh last month officially sought Hasina’s repatriation to stand trial on charges of mass killings during the Anti-Discrimination Student’s Movement dubbed as July-August uprising that toppled her Awami League government on August 5.
