Sheikh Hasina`s plans for London trip uncertain

The Awami League leader Sheikh Hasina planned to transit through India on her way to London, with her aides informing Indian authorities in advance, reports economic times.

However, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy stated that Bangladesh has experienced "unprecedented levels of violence and tragic loss of life" in recent weeks. He emphasized the need for a "full and independent UN-led investigation into the events."

The situation remains fluid, with no clear resolution in sight for Hasina's travel plans. Despite the challenges, she may remain in India for the time being, as the situation continues to evolve.

Hasina, 76, resigned after 15 years in power, following massive protests that began over a job quota scheme and escalated into a demand for her removal from office. The controversial quota system reserved 30 percent of civil service jobs for families of veterans from the 1971 liberation war.
