Bangladesh urges India to act with ‘conscience’, ‘moral clarity’ on Hasina extradition request

Bangladesh’s interim government led by Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus on Wednesday urged India to be guided by “conscience and moral clarity” over its handling of the extradition request for deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina, who is facing charges of crimes against humanity.

Bangladesh in December last year had sent India a note verbale, requesting the extradition of Hasina. New Delhi had confirmed receipt of the formal diplomatic note but did not comment further.

Yunus’s press secretary, Shafiqul Alam, in a statement on social media, said, “We now urge the Republic of India to act with conscience and moral clarity.” PTI
