Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed has said the government wants former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to return to Bangladesh through legal procedures and the existing extradition treaty framework.
Speaking at a press briefing on the country’s law and order situation at the Home Ministry conference room in the Bangladesh Secretariat today (21 May), he said a formal request has already been sent through diplomatic channels for her return to face cases filed against her in Bangladesh.
Responding to a question on India’s Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC), the minister said those are entirely India’s internal matters.
“India’s CAA or Assam’s NRC are their own legal and administrative matters concerning their citizens. There is no scope for Bangladesh to comment on those issues,” he said.
He added that Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) remains on high alert along the border to prevent any illegal infiltration or push-ins.
The minister also said the government remains committed to maintaining law and order and ensuring justice through lawful and institutional processes.
