Bangladesh has linked Prime Minister Tarique Rahman’s proposed visit to India with its demand for Sheikh Hasina’s extradition. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Shahidul Karim said talks between Dhaka and New Delhi had been ongoing for weeks. However, the process was affected by Hasina’s press interaction in New Delhi on August 5. Bangladesh wants India to act on its extradition request and hand over other fugitives. Dhaka also wants India to hand over people accused of killing Sharif Osman Hadi. Karim said a “propitious environment” was needed for Rahman’s visit. Bangladesh is now waiting for India’s response to its requests under the bilateral extradition treaty.
