Former PM of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina.
Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina is trying to return to her country. Meanwhile, Bangladesh Chief Prosecutor (government lawyer) Mohammad Aminul Islam said on Tuesday that if Hasina returns to the country, she will be given death penalty. They have no option left now.
Hasina’s lawyers had yesterday, i.e. on November 9, sent an email to the Delhi-based High Commission of Bangladesh demanding to issue a new passport and national identity card for her. The Bangladesh government rejected this demand.
Sheikh Hasina was sentenced to death by a Bangladesh court in November 2025 in the case of suppressing the students’ movement. Hasina had called this case a joke and rejected the allegations.
Bangladesh is demanding extradition of Hasina
Chief Prosecutor Aminul Islam has also said that a person convicted of a serious crime cannot be given a passport.
Even before this, Bangladesh has demanded India to send Hasina back. Due to Hasina’s stay in India, there is tension in the relations between the two countries.
Foreign Ministry calls Sheikh Hasina’s extradition a technical matter
Former Indian diplomat said- Bangladesh does not want Hasina to return
Former Indian diplomat Veena Sikri said that Sheikh Hasina has clearly said that she wants to go back and is ready to face the court in Bangladesh. His applying for a travel document is a logical step since his passport has been revoked.
According to Sikri, the reaction of the Bangladesh government is quite surprising. His Minister of State for External Affairs Humayun Kabir is still demanding extradition from India. This makes it very clear that they do not want Sheikh Hasina to go back.
Hasina wants to return to Bangladesh in December
Hasina has said many times that she will return to Bangladesh in December. In an interview given to AFP, she had said that she knew that she could be hanged upon her return but would not change her decision of her responsibility to the people on the basis of fear.
There was student movement in Bangladesh in 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 opposed this. His demand was that recruitment in government jobs should be on the basis of merit instead of reservation. The demonstrations intensified in July. Violent clashes occurred 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 the 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 military plane. Since then she has been living in India.
