Extradite Sheikh Hasina To Bangladesh, Let Her Face Trial, BNP Asks India

Bangladesh Nationalist Party leader Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Tuesday asked India to extradite former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to put her on trial, The Daily Star reported.

“It is our call to you that you should hand her over to the government of Bangladesh in a legal way,” Mirza Fakhrul told reporters, according to The Daily Star. “The people of this country have given the decision for her trial. Let her face that trial.”

The party led by former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia is the main opponent of Hasina’s Awami League.

Mirza Fakhrul, a former Bangladesh minister and the party’s secretary-general, claimed: “Staying there [in India], she [Hasina] has started various plots to thwart the revolution that happened in Bangladesh.”
