Sheikh Hasina's future in India up in the air, says S Jaishankar
Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh's former Prime Minister, is facing an uncertain stay in India after fleeing to Delhi when her government was overthrown during violent protests last year.
She's just been sentenced to death by a Bangladeshi court for "crimes against humanity" linked to the 2024 student uprising—a charge she strongly denies, calling it politically motivated.
Bangladesh asks India for extradition; India focuses on stability
Bangladesh now wants India to send back Hasina and ex-interior minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal (also sentenced), citing their extradition treaty.
While Bangladesh presses for their return, India has emphasized its commitment to peace and stability in the region.
This all came up at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, where leaders talked about tackling tough challenges and building a better future together.
