Bangladesh has linked Prime Minister Tarique Rahman’s proposed visit to India with its demand for the extradition of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Shahidul Karim said officials from both countries had discussed the visit for several weeks, but the process was affected by Hasina’s August 5 press interaction in New Delhi. Dhaka said a “propitious environment” must be created before the visit can proceed. Bangladesh has asked India to act on requests to extradite Hasina and other fugitives, and hand over suspects accused in the killing of Sharif Osman Hadi. Dhaka is awaiting New Delhi’s response.
