  • 2 months ago
When asked whether it is right for India to grant asylum to Sheikh Hasina, Indian Overseas Congress Chief Sam Pitroda replied, "That is for India to decide, and it's up to Indian foreign policy experts to make that determination. We have a good relationship with Bangladesh, so I think something should be worked out that satisfies everyone—Bangladesh's government, the Indian government, and Sheikh Hasina. We don’t want any further disturbances. It's important for Bangladesh to return to a normal situation where peace prevails, people can focus on their work, and the economy functions as it has been. If Sheikh Hasina needs to stay in India for a while, then that’s okay"
