Bangladesh has made it clear that Prime Minister Tariq
Rahman will not visit India until India extradites former Bangladeshi Prime
Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajid. It is worth noting that the then-Prime Minister
of Bangladesh fled to India after the 2024 uprising, and since then, relations
between the two countries have been severely strained.
Sheikh Hasina faces the death penalty in Bangladesh after
being convicted of crimes against humanity, and the Bangladeshi government has
submitted several formal extradition requests to India.
According to sources from Bangladesh, Bangladeshi Foreign
Ministry official AKM Shahidul Karim, speaking to the press, dismissed all
media speculation about a possible visit by Prime Minister Tariq Rahman to
India next week, stating: "We believe it is first necessary to create a
conducive environment for this visit."
He added, "To achieve this goal, we have urged Indian
authorities to intensify their efforts to extradite Sheikh Hasina and other fugitives.
“Meanwhile, India's position is that Bangladesh's extradition request is being
examined in accordance with legal procedure and is currently under
consideration.
