Bangladesh has formally requested the return of Sheikh Hasina. As a result, New Delhi has faced a new situation, which has become quite complicated for them, according to those concerned. The issue is not limited to legal obligations alone. It is a matter of regional stability and political strategy. The issue of Bangladesh’s request for Hasina’s return is also important in bilateral relations and India’s internal politics. Where a wrong decision can have a lot of consequences.

This information was revealed in a report by the media outlet The Statesman on Thursday (December 26).

According to the report, India is now in both crises regarding Sheikh Hasina. Because if India extradites Hasina, critics will say that New Delhi has established relations with the interim government of Bangladesh, which has not been able to stop the alleged persecution of minorities. In addition, an image will also be created that it has ‘abandoned’ those loyal to Sheikh Hasina.

On the other hand, if India does not return Sheikh Hasina, who is accused of crimes against humanity, there is a risk of worsening relations with Dhaka. Which could have an impact on trade, border security and regional cooperation.

It will also have an impact on India’s domestic political arena. Opposition parties may question the government’s political dominance and sensitive foreign policy. In addition, India’s commitment to regional superpowers and humanitarian values ​​will also be questioned. The issue will face a bigger test in the diplomatic landscape of South Asia. Where the issue of exiles and their return is a debate.

In addition, what India decides to do with Sheikh Hasina this time will set an example for the future. It will be clear what the country can do if it faces such a situation in the future.

The Statesman says that besides respecting Bangladesh’s sovereignty, India will have to consider the humanitarian aspect of this issue. It is also a matter of seeing whether they will return an old friend like Sheikh Hasina. However, at the moment, India can carry out quiet diplomatic activities. Through which the emerging situation can be resolved without creating any tension.
