Bangladesh Bars Hasina From Political Activities in India
Sheikh Hasina, who used to be the leader of Bangladesh, said she might come back to Bangladesh by the end of the year.
The Bangladeshi government told a group of lawmakers that she is not allowed to do politics while she is in India.
They also said that if she comes back, she will probably be arrested right away.
The government has asked India to look into sending her back to Bangladesh.
India is checking the request following its own rules.
The lawmakers were told that the process follows the law and established procedures.
This means Bangladesh wants to make sure Hasina faces the law when she returns.
The decision shows how serious the government is about the situation.
The whole thing is about making sure the law is followed and that Hasina cannot avoid it by staying in India.
Bangladesh government told a parliamentary panel that former PM Sheikh Hasina cannot conduct political activities from India.
Law Minister M Asaduzzaman said Hasina would likely be arrested immediately upon return to Bangladesh.
The Ministry of External Affairs confirmed that Bangladesh's extradition request for Hasina is under review by Indian authorities.
The request follows Hasina's recent remarks that she may return to Bangladesh by year‑end.
The panel was informed that the extradition process follows applicable law and established procedures.
