In a dilemma: On Sheikh Hasina and India Bangladesh ties | The Hindu Editorial

Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, currently in exile in India, has reportedly applied for a new Bangladeshi passport and national identity card, fuelling speculation about her planned return in December. However, the Bangladesh government has rejected the prospect of issuing her a passport and is seeking her extradition. With Hasina facing a death sentence, her possible return poses diplomatic challenges for India and Bangladesh.
