Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina has asked for a new passport to return to the country. She wants to return to Bangladesh in December. The application has been made from the Bangladesh Embassy in New Delhi.
His lawyer has also emailed Bangladesh’s top diplomat in London on Monday. In this, a demand has been made to issue a new passport and national identity card for Hasina.
Sheikh Hasina is in India since 5 August 2024. He had to leave the post of Prime Minister after the student movement. Since then she has been living in India. Bangladesh’s Tariq Rahman government has demanded Hasina’s extradition several times.
Yunus’s interim government had canceled his passport.
Hasina’s aide Abu Obaida Arin has described Hasina’s demand as a big step towards returning home. According to him, the government had canceled Hasina’s identity documents. Now she wants to get back her rights as a citizen of Bangladesh.
- After leaving power in August 2024, the interim government of Mohammad Yunus had canceled his diplomatic passport.
- In January 2025, his ordinary passport was also canceled in connection with the killings during the July-August agitation.
- In April 2025, the Election Commission had locked his national identity card.
Bangladesh minister called Sheikh Hasina a terrorist
Bangladesh’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Humayun Kabir had said on November 5 that the government was demanding India to hand over Sheikh Hasina.
He had said that there is an extradition treaty between India and Bangladesh and Hasina should be handed over to Bangladesh. Kabir had also called Hasina a terrorist while talking to journalists.
Former PM Hasina has been sentenced to death
Sheikh Hasina has been sentenced to death. On 17 November 2025, the International Crimes Tribunal of Dhaka convicted him in the case of suppressing the 2024 student movement.
The court had admitted that Hasina had a role in ordering the deadly action against the protesters. According to the United Nations, about 1400 people were killed in this action.
Hasina has denied the allegations against her. He also rejected the court’s decision and called the case an act of political vendetta.
The student movement against Hasina started in June 2024.
The student movement against reservation in government jobs started in Bangladesh in June 2024. The High Court had ruled to provide 30% reservation in government jobs to the children and grandchildren of freedom fighters involved in the 1971 freedom struggle.
The students protested against this and demanded that recruitment in government jobs should be on the basis of merit instead of reservation. The demonstrations intensified in July. Clashes broke out between police and protesters.
The police were accused of firing at the protesters and using excessive force. After this the students started demanding Hasina’s resignation. Gradually this movement spread throughout the country.
On 5 August 2024, thousands of protesters moved towards Dhaka and reached Hasina’s official residence. After this Hasina came to India by Bangladesh military plane.
