Extradition demand of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
There were signs of strain in relations between India and Bangladesh after the overthrow of the Awami League government and New Delhi’s decision to grant asylum to former prime minister Sheikh Hasina. Bangladesh’s top advisor Professor Mohammad Yunus, in his address to the nation on November 17, said that the Ministry of External Affairs will seek the extradition of Sheikh Hasina from India.

Many projects were stopped due to the tension.
Since the fall of the Awami League government, the Indian High Commission has limited visas issued to Bangladeshi tourists. Apart from this, many projects under the Indian Credit Facility are also stuck because Indian contractors are yet to return to Bangladesh due to security reasons.
Meanwhile, Foreign Advisor Tauheed Hussain said Dhaka will review agreements and MoUs signed with India in recent years. Advisers to the interim government said some Indian media outlets are exaggerating attacks on minorities in Bangladesh, which is not good for bilateral relations and is affecting relations between the two countries.
