Bangladesh seeks Sheikh Hasina’s extradition from India
Bangladesh has formally asked India to extradite former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled to this country in August after a student-led movement dislodged her from power.
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan telephoned his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina on the eve of her visit to India on Thursday.
“Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan phoned Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina this afternoon and exchanged pleasantries,” the Bangladesh Prime Minister’s Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim said on Wednesday, reported bdnews24.com.
