Apropos Sheikh Hasina

It is not feasible that Ms. Hasina would be handed over to Bangladesh despite Bangladesh sending a note verbale or diplomatic missive demanding her extradition to face trials for massive charges brought by the Dhaka-based International Crimes Tribunal. As the Dalai Lama has been given shelter in India since 1958, the decision to protect him has not wavered to prolonged Chinese pressure. Likewise is Hasina's case whose relationship with India rests on the sacrifices by both the countries during liberation of Bangladesh which was further strengthened during her exile in India in 1975 when her father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was brutally murdered along with other members of the family in 1975. It remains to be seen how the diplomatic battle evolves.
