The Aporia · India's political will needed to extradite Sheikh Hasina: Bangladesh

Bangladesh is urging India to demonstrate political will to expedite the extradition process for former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. State minister Shama Obaed Islam emphasized that while legal procedures are in place, political commitment from both countries is crucial. Indian high commissioner Dinesh Trivedi previously stated that the process is ongoing and court involvement means no specific timeline can be provided. Outgoing Bangladesh high commissioner Md Riaz Hamidullah met with Indian external affairs minister Dr. S Jaishankar to discuss bilateral issues, though details of their conversation were not disclosed.

Story summary

On Saturday, the Indian high commissioner to Bangladesh, Dinesh Trivedi, stated during a discussion in Dhaka that New Delhi cannot provide a deadline for the return of ousted ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who sought asylum in India after her government collapsed in August 2024. The legal process for extradition is ongoing and involves courts, leaving no timeframe for her return at present. Trivedi clarified that India had no role in Hasina’s extraction from Bangladesh; she was escorted by a Bangladeshi military detachment and brought to India via a Bangladeshi aircraft while still serving as prime minister.

The next day, the state minister for foreign affairs of Bangladesh, Shama Obaed Islam, expressed hope that India would expedite Hasina's extradition process, emphasizing that political will is essential alongside legal procedures. Islam highlighted that both countries must exhibit the necessary political commitment to bring this matter to a conclusion.
