Delhi must return Hasina to face trial: Chief Adviser

In an exclusive interview with The Hindu at his residence in Dhaka, Chief Adviser of the interim government Professor Muhammad Yunus has said as his government has completed 100 days in office, they have reestablished economy, law and order.

He alleged Sheikh Hasina is continuing her political activities from India. “Delhi must return Hasina to face trial”, he said.

Bangladesh will pursue the extradition of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from India, said Muhammad Yunus, admitting however that he had no objection to her party the Awami League contesting in elections. 

Yunus spelt out his vision for ties with India and plans for reform. He defended his government’s record in 100 days since it was formed and called reports over the rise of radicalism and safety of the nation’s Hindus and other minorities “propaganda”, which has led to sharp criticism from India and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
