India on Tuesday declined to comment on former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s request for a new passport and national identity card ahead of her planned return home in December. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the Bangladesh High Commission was better placed to respond to the request. Asked whether a person could be extradited without a passport, he said a travel document was required for movement, calling it a technical matter. Hasina has been living in India since her government was ousted in August 2024. Bangladesh has rejected her passport request and continues to demand her extradition from India. (PC: India Today)
