Bangladesh is hopeful that India will accelerate the extradition proceedings for former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Indian High Commissioner Dinesh Trivedi confirmed that the necessary legal procedures are underway. Bangladeshi State Minister Shama Obaed Islam stressed the critical role of political commitment from both Bangladesh and India to facilitate the extradition. This development comes as outgoing Bangladeshi High Commissioner Riaz Hamidullah concluded discussions with Indian External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar, focusing on shared interests between the two nations. The meeting likely addressed the extradition case as part of broader bilateral ties. Bangladesh views a swift resolution to the case as important for its own legal and political objectives. The outcome hinges on continued legal progress and demonstrated political will from both governments.
