Dhaka. The tension of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is living in India after fleeing the country after violent protests in Bangladesh, has increased. Yunus government of Bangladesh has taken such a step that Hasina may have to leave India and go to Bangladesh. The International Crime Tribunal (Bangladesh) has issued an arrest warrant against him. This tribunal has issued an arrest warrant against him for violence and massacre during this year’s student movement. The court has ordered Hasina to appear on November 18.
In fact, the prosecution has also requested arrest warrants against 50 other people allegedly involved in the killings during student protests against the Hasina-led Awami League government. The tribunal has so far received 60 complaints of enforced disappearances, murders and mass killings against the exiled leader and his party associates. Hasina’s 15-year rule witnessed widespread human rights abuses, including mass detentions and killings of her political opponents.
When Sheikh Hasina came to power in Bangladesh, a nationwide movement regarding reservation started. The students, troubled by the lack of government jobs, were demanding the abolition of a quota that provided reservation of 30 per cent of government jobs for relatives of veterans who fought in Bangladesh’s independence struggle in 1971. Let us tell you that in August itself, there was a demand for extradition of Hasina. Bangladesh’s main opposition party BNP i.e. Bangladesh Nationalist Party had on several occasions demanded the extradition of Hasina from India to prosecute her. But now what decision would India or Bangladesh take on the arrest warrant of Hasina and the order to prosecute Hasina by the International Crime Tribunal (Bangladesh).
