'If india does not send Sheikh Hasina to Bangladesh...'?
bangladesh Nationalist party (BNP) General Secretary mirza Fakhrul islam Alamgir said that it is important to start a new chapter in India-Bangladesh relations, which should begin with the extradition of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina. He said that her continued presence in india could further damage bilateral relations.
Alamgir, the second-in-command in the BNP, emphasized that his party is keen on strong relations with India. He said that he is ready to overcome past differences and cooperate. Alamgir also assured that the BNP will not allow any such activity on Bangladeshi soil that poses a threat to India's security.
'India did not talk to BNP'
Alamgir said that even after the fall of the Hasina government amid public outrage, the indian government has not yet talked to the BNP, while China, America, britain and pakistan have already talked. He said that the safety of minorities in bangladesh is an internal matter. The BNP leader said that reports of Hindus being targeted are not correct, as most of the incidents were politically motivated rather than communal. He said, "Sheikh Hasina will have to face the law of bangladesh for all the crimes and corruption committed by herself and her government. To make this possible and respect the sentiments of the people of bangladesh, india should ensure her return to Bangladesh."
Anti-government protests in bangladesh reached a peak on august 5, forcing Sheikh Hasina to resign from the post of prime minister and leave the country for India. Hasina's presence in india for more than three weeks has fueled speculation in Bangladesh.
