The return of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) to power in Bangladesh has brought back into focus Dhaka’s demand for the extradition of ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina from India, setting up a complex diplomatic test for New Delhi.
Soon after the BNP’s landslide victory in the country’s first general elections since the 2024 uprising, senior party leader Salahuddin Ahmed reiterated that the new government would pursue Hasina’s return to face trial.
