The Crime Desk: Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is currently staying in India. Rumors were that he would soon leave India for the UK. But there was no official response from the UK government regarding granting him political asylum.
The British Home Office told Indian media outlet NDTV that according to that country’s immigration laws, no person is allowed to travel to the country for asylum or temporary asylum. Meanwhile, India’s Foreign Minister S Jaishankar said in an all-party meeting on Tuesday that India has assured to help Bangladesh’s former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. He arrived in India on’short notice’ last Monday. He could not be normal yet. He has been given time to recover and decide on future steps.
According to Indian media reports, Sheikh Hasina is now staying in a safe house of the Indian government. The flight in which he traveled to India on Monday left the Hindon airport in Ghaziabad yesterday, leaving him behind. He may leave India for London. He is in contact with UK authorities for asylum. But his asylum application has not been accepted yet.
UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy has called for a UN-led inquiry into the violence in Bangladesh, according to a report by Wion. However, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina did not comment on whether the asylum application in the UK has been accepted or not. In a statement, he said, We must work together to end the violence, restore peace, calm the situation, and prevent further loss of life.
In the end, if Britain does not accept Sheikh Hasina’s asylum application, she will stay in India or go to another country. According to Indian media reports, Sheikh Hasina has been allowed to stay in India temporarily. As a result, he may have to go to another country. In this case, there are rumors that he can go to Belarus.
