If India wanted to overrun Bangladesh, it'd have done it already.

Exponentially.

If we were to disregard mass civilian deaths, it would take India less than a day to overrun Bangladesh and make them beg for surrender.

‘What can we do?’
Says Touhid on ‘Hasina’s visa extension by India’

Foreign Adviser Touhid Hossain yesterday said he has come to know about the reported visa extension of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, who is staying in India since her ouster on August 5 last year, through media.

"Like you, I also got to know it from newspapers. What can we do?" he said when journalists asked him about the reported visa extension of Hasina at the foreign ministry.

Quoting sources in New Delhi, the Hindustan Times yesterday reported that New Delhi extended Sheikh Hasina's visa.

According to the report, the Union home ministry was required to sign off on the visa extension through the local Foreigners Regional Registration Office. Authorities, however, dismissed claims that the former leader had been granted 'asylum' in the country.

Bangladesh sought Hasina's extradition through a note verbal sent to the Indian Ministry of External Affairs on December 23.

Asked about New Delhi's response to the communication, Touhid Hossain told reporters: "We have not yet received any response to our letter."

On Monday, the Department of Immigration and Passports cancelled the passports of 97 people, including Hasina, for their alleged involvement in enforced disappearances and killings during protests in July.​

Foreign adviser Md Touhid Hossain has said they have not received any response from India on extradition of Sheikh Hasina.

The foreign adviser made this remark while answering queries from newsmen at the foreign ministry on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, New Delhi has extended the tenure of visa of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina.

When asked about the development, Touhid Hossain said, "Like you, I have also learnt from the newspaper. What can we do."

When asked whether you received any response to the letter seeking repatriation of Sheikh Hasina, the adviser said, "We have not received any response to the letter sent to India for the repatriation of Sheikh Hasina."

On 23 December, Bangladesh sent a letter to India for extraditing former prime minister Sheikh Hasina on charges of crimes against humanity.

Sheikh Hasina has been staying in India since she fled to India on 5 August. Since then Bangladesh is making calls to bring her home back.

According to a report of The Hindustan Times, India has extended the tenure of visa for Sheikh Hasina.

The report also read that Hasina, 77, fled to India after stepping down amid nationwide protests. She has not been allowed to communicate with other people since she arrived at Hindon airbase on 5 August. She, however, has been moved to a safehouse in Delhi.

The former prime minister's visa was recently extended to facilitate her stay in the country, the people said on condition of anonymity. They dismissed speculation about Hasina being granted asylum in the country by pointing out that India doesn’t have a specific law for dealing with refugees and matters such as asylum.​

Referring to deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s reported visa extension, the interim government on Thursday said the visa issue does not exist once a passport is cancelled.

“I would give you a general answer – if a passport is cancelled, no visa issue remains,” Spokesperson at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Mohammad Rafiqul Alam told reporters while responding to a question at a weekly briefing at the ministry.

He also said that passport cancellation issues are notified through Bangladesh Missions abroad so that countries with diplomatic relations with Bangladesh are informed about the cancellation, UNB reports.

“As we don’t have additional information, we would not speculate,” Alam added.

Earlier, the Department of Immigration and Passports revoked the passports of 97 people, including Hasina, due to their alleged involvement in the July killings and alleged involvement in enforced disappearances.

However, the Hindustan Times, a major national daily of India, reported that Sheikh Hasina’s visa extension was recently approved, and facilitated by India’s Union Home Ministry through the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO).

Hasina, 77, has been residing in India since fleeing her country in August last year, following widespread protests that culminated in her resignation.

"Like you, I too came to know about this (extension of Sheikh Hasina's visa) through the newspaper. What can we do?" Foreign Adviser Md. Touhid Hossain posed a counter question when journalists approached him at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday.

He also said they have not yet received a response to the letter (note verbale) sent to India requesting Sheikh Hasina's extradition.

“At this moment, we are waiting for India’s reply,” Spokesperson Alam said on Thursday, adding that there is no relation between the former prime minister’s status in India and Dhaka’s request for her extradition.

The spokesperson said everyone knows that she is in India and Bangladesh requested her extradition as a citizen of Bangladesh.

The interim government in Bangladesh, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, formally requested Hasina’s extradition through a note verbale sent to India’s Ministry of External Affairs on December 23.​
