India denies Bangladesh’s accusations
On Sunday, Bangladesh summoned India’s high commissioner to Dhaka, Pranay Verma, to express concerns over ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina allegedly making continued “incendiary” statements from Indian soil.
“We have consistently reiterated our position in favor of free, fair, inclusive, and credible elections being held in Bangladesh in a peaceful atmosphere,” the Indian Foreign Ministry stated.
The ministry emphasized that India has “never allowed its territory to be used for activities inimical to the interests of the friendly people of Bangladesh.”
Dhaka also renewed its demand for the extradition of Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal to face sentences handed down by Bangladeshi courts. Both have been sentenced to death in a crimes against humanity case for allegedly ordering a violent crackdown on student protests in 2024.
Hasina, who fled to India following the unrest, told a news outlet in a recent interview that the verdict was a “foregone conclusion.”
Bangladesh is currently administered by an interim government led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mohammad Yunus. The country is preparing for 2026 elections, from which Hasina’s Awami League—previously in power for 15 years—has been barred.
