Sheikh Hasina’s Visit to India Amid Bangladesh Crisis: Centre Convenes All-Party Meeting !

Dhaka: An “interim government” is emerging in Bangladesh following Sheikh Hasina’s resignation and subsequent departure from the country, coinciding with the military’s assumption of control amid widespread protests. Earlier today, Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar convened an all-party meeting to address the collapse of Hasina’s administration and the military’s intervention. The deposed leader, who arrived in India yesterday, remains within the nation’s borders.

Exiled author Taslima Nasrin claims that Hasina expelled her from the country to appease Islamist factions.

Exiled Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen, known for her strong opposition to communalism, has highlighted an ironic situation regarding the recent departure of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina amidst intense student-led protests. Ms. Nasreen remarked that Hasina had expelled her from Bangladesh to appease Islamist factions, and now those very factions are involved in the student protests that have compelled Hasina to leave the nation.

“Hasina, in her attempt to satisfy the Islamists, expelled me from my homeland in 1999 when I returned to Bangladesh to be with my mother during her final moments, and she has since barred my re-entry. Ironically, the same Islamists who were part of the student protests have now driven Hasina to seek refuge outside the country,” Ms. Nasreen stated in an online message. Ms. Hasina departed for India on a military aircraft yesterday and is expected to travel to London to apply for asylum in the United Kingdom.

The central government has convened an all-party meeting regarding the situation in Bangladesh, with S. Jaishankar scheduled to participate.

The Indian government has convened an all-party meeting today to address the recent collapse of Sheikh Hasina’s administration in neighboring Bangladesh, which has been marked by violent demonstrations.

Ms. Hasina resigned yesterday and left the country as large groups of furious protesters called for her departure.
