'Hypothetical Question': MEA Responds To Query On Sheikh Hasina's Extradition To Bangladesh

MEA official spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the question regarding Hasina's extradition is a "hypothetical one" and added that the government doesn't believe in answering hypothetical questions.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday responded to reports of Bangladesh seeking to initiate steps to extradite former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from India.

During the weekly briefing, MEA official spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that the question regarding Hasina's extradition is a "hypothetical one" and added that the government doesn't believe in answering hypothetical questions.

"The question regarding the extradition of ex-Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina is a hypothetical question and we do not believe in answering hypothetical questions," the MEA Spokesperson said.

The MEA's response comes just days after the newly-appointed Chief Prosecutor of Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) said that the country is set to initiate steps to extradite Hasina from India to face charges related to mass killings during the student-led protests against her government.  

"Necessary steps will be taken to bring former prime minister Hasina back under the extradition treaty with India to try her on charges of mass killings during the student-led protests in July and August," Tajul Islam, the Chief Prosecutor of ICT, said, according to The Daily Star newspaper. 

The student protests, which peaked on 5 August, resulted in Hasina's resignation and her subsequent flight to India.
