India has not transmitted any response to the Bangladesh government to its request to extradite the Bangladesh Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, for his crimes he allegedly committed before fleeing to India in August 2023.
The Minister of State for External Affairs, Kirti Vardhan Singh, while answering a question raised by Kerala CPI (m) Rajya Sabha Mp John Brittas.
“The Bangladesh government has sought the extradition of former Bangladesh prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, for crimes allegedly committed before coming to India on August 5, 2024. No response to the Bangladesh government has been transmitted,” said Singh .
More than 800 people died in the demonstrations led by the students who culminated in the expulsion of the Government of Sheikh Hasina on August 5, according to the interim authorities who subsequently took power, directed by the Nobel Nobel Muhammad Yunus.
The students protested against a quota system that supposedly favored the Hasina party, the Awami League, but the protests gradually became a movement that demanded the resignation of Hasina.
The protests demanded generalized reforms to Bangladesh’s economy and politics, but the protests were kidnapped by Islamists and rivals of the Awami League who have been submitting to members of the Hasina party, their supporters and Hindus and other minority groups to the justice of The mafia since last year.
Bangladesh has sued Hasina already his relatives in court, accusing them of graft, mass murder and also demanded his extradition while accused of stealing disturbances in Dhaka in New Delhi. The government led by Yunus also accused her of forced disappearances.
After the Hasina government collapsed, the interim government has not been able to control the violence of the mafia and the justice of the mafia that is imposed on Bangladesh sympathizing with her and her party.
The murders of the mafia in Bangladesh increased after the August revolution, three rights groups said in January.
AIN or Salish Kendra (ASK), a leading human rights organization from Bangladesh, said he had registered at least 128 people killed by mobs in 2024.
Of these, 96 took place from August, which means that approximately three quarters of the murders occurred after Hasina fled the country.
“Mafia lynchings and beatings reflect the growing intolerance and radicalism in society,” said the member of the Ask Senior Abu Ahmed Faijul Kabir.
Two other human rights organizations reported similar numbers, about three times more than the average of the previous five years.
The Manabadhikar Songskriti Foundation said it had documented 146 people killed by mobs in 2024, while the Human Rights Support Society recorded 173 deaths.
