In response to a student-led revolt, Bangladesh’s main opposition party, BNP, demanded on Tuesday that India reinstate former prime minister Sheikh Hasina to stand trial for murder and other crimes against her. We request that you give her to the Bangladeshi authorities in a lawful manner.
The decision was made by the country’s citizens. After expressing gratitude to party suffrager Ziaur Rahman, BNP director general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said in Dhaka that she would experience that trial.
Alamgir claimed that Hasina’s acceptance as a refugee in India is incompatible with the government’s commitment to upholding political rules. She continued to plot several ways to prevent the revolution that took place in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh & India have extradition treaty and must hand over people against whom court case is on

The BNP director general claimed that Hasina’s Awami League was” also conspiring in New Delhi to tarnish the success” of Bangladeshis among other people. We want to make it clear that I do not believe that India may win much like from Bangladesh’s citizens by averting the country’s enemies, Alamgir said.
Awami League has criticised Bangladesh’s time state for cases registered against Hasina, terming them “false and socially motivated”.
