What is the BNP demanding from India regarding Sheikh Hasina?
The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is demanding that India immediately return former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her accomplices to Bangladesh. This demand follows the release of a UN report that implicates Hasina in serious human rights violations and mass killings during the July-August 2024 protests, which reportedly resulted in up to 1,400 deaths, primarily at the hands of Bangladesh security forces. The BNP expects India to extradite the former prime minister so she can face trial in Bangladesh for these alleged crimes. BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir cited the report's findings as grounds for this demand, emphasizing the need for accountability for the atrocities committed against Bangladeshi citizens.
