Hasina Seeks New Passport Amid Bangladesh Return
· World · Reuters, NDTV
Hasina has applied for a new passport, signaling her intention to return to Bangladesh. The move follows a recent statement by Bangladesh's Law Minister calling her a 'convicted criminal' and confirming an extradition request has been sent to India. She fled Bangladesh in 2022 after a coup d'etat in which the former Prime Minister was ousted. The extradition request is the clearest indication yet of her plans to go back to the country.
