Bangladeshi politician and BNP leader
Ousted Bangladeshi premier Sheikh Hasina has said she will return to Bangladesh, insisting she must answer to her people. Speaking via videolink from New Delhi on the second anniversary of the 2024 uprising, she has pledged to confront the charges against her while Bangladesh seeks extradition and India says the request is under review. A memorial museum marks the uprising as Dhaka and New Delhi navigate a fragile reengagement.
The president has cited autonomic neuropathy and health concerns, prompting his resignation. Parliament will appoint a caretaker president within 90 days, while Hasina’s position tightens as she returns to Bangladesh.
Bangladesh's former prime minister Hasina and ally figures face extradition pressures as her return to the country becomes a focal point. Shakib Al Hasan remains abroad amid investigations and tensions, while attacks on his ancestral home complicate diplomacy and public safety concerns.
