00:00Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's sudden departure from her country has taken

00:26a new turn as she finds herself in a state of limbo in India.

00:30Following the eruption of massive unrest and violent protests in Bangladesh, Hasina was

00:35forced to flee, landing at the Hinden Air Base near the Delhi on Monday evening.

00:40Initially, it was believed that Hasina will seek asylum in the United Kingdom, where her

00:45sister Sheikh Rihanna is a British citizen.

00:48However, this plan has hit a significant roadblock due to UK's stringent asylum rules.

00:55The UK immigration policy clearly states that there is no provision for individuals

00:59to travel to the UK specifically to seek asylum or temporary refuge.

01:04Furthermore, the rules emphasize that those in need of international protection should

01:09claim asylum in the first safe country they reach as this is considered the fastest route

01:15to safety.

01:17As a result of these complications, Hasina is currently staying in a safe house near

01:20the Hinden Air Base in India.

01:23Her immediate future remains uncertain as she navigates this challenging situation.

01:28The Bangladesh Air Force aircraft that brought Hasina to India has now returned to Dhaka.

01:33Sources report that the Indian authorities provided full support to the crew during the

01:3716-hour stay at the Hinden Air Base, highlighting the delicate diplomatic handling of the situation.

01:43Hasina's departure marks the end of her 15-year reign in Bangladesh, a period that

01:48concluded dramatically amid the widespread riots and violent protests over the controversial

01:53quota system in government jobs.

01:56The unrest has led to significant loss of life and property damage across the country,

02:00forcing the once-powerful leader to seek refuge abroad.

02:04This turn of events represents a significant shift in Bangladesh's political landscape.

02:08Hasina, once a dominant force in country politics, is now finding herself in a precarious situation,

02:14now unable to return to homeland and facing uncertainty about her future residence.

02:20The situation remains fluid with potential implications on regional politics and diplomacy.

02:25Even India's decision to provide a temporary shelter to Hasina demonstrates the complex

02:29relationship between nations in South Asia.

02:33As Bangladesh grapples with the political transition and unrest like never before, the

02:38international community watches closely, aware of the potential ripple effects on regional
