Hasina’s extradition: India will deal with govt of the day thru diplomatic channels, says Jaishankar

India will deal with the government of the day in Bangladesh through diplomatic channels regarding extradition of recently ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina, India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said yesterday (10 September) in response to questions from reporters.

“There has been a change in government in Bangladesh. We deal with the government of the day. How we deal with that is through diplomatic channels, not by reports in the press,” Jaishankar said during a joint press conference with his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock in Berlin.

Earlier on 8 September, newly appointed Chief Prosecutor of the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) Advocate Md Tajul Islam said necessary steps will be taken to bring Hasina back to the country to face trial over alleged crimes against humanity and genocide during the recent anti-discrimination student movement.
