Delhi maintains previous stance on Sheikh Hasina’s extradition

India’s Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, stated that the issue regarding the extradition of former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will be resolved through existing legal processes and agreements. Concurrently, India has advised contacting the Bangladesh High Commission regarding Sheikh Hasina’s application for a new passport and national identity card.

Randhir Jaiswal made these remarks on Tuesday (November 10) in response to a question from media personnel during the Ministry of External Affairs’ regular weekly briefing.

During the briefing, a journalist inquired about reports that Bangladesh had rejected Sheikh Hasina’s application for a new passport and national identity card. The journalist also asked if this matter could be discussed during a potential consular services meeting between the two countries.
