India has clarified that no decision has been taken regarding the repatriation of Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina via a military aircraft. The Indian government also believes that facing trial is the only option for Hasina. The information was revealed in a report by Jugantor on Friday (November 13), citing Indian official sources.

India's Stance

The report stated that no military aircraft has been kept ready by India to send Hasina back. India considers that returning to Bangladesh and facing the judicial process is the only path for her. However, Indian authorities have also indicated that there is no urgency in sending Hasina back at this moment.

Cabinet Secretary's Inquiry

On the same day, the Cabinet Secretary sought to know whether any official at the Secretariat is awaiting Sheikh Hasina's return in December. This question, directed at Secretariat officials, has sparked widespread discussion in administrative circles. According to relevant sources, an initiative has been taken to identify those who may be anticipating her return following the Cabinet Secretary's directive.

Political Context

Following the fall of the Awami League government in the student-public uprising on August 5, Sheikh Hasina left the country and took shelter in India. She has been residing there since then. Bangladesh's interim government has been pursuing the process of bringing her back to face justice. In this backdrop, India's recent stance and the Cabinet Secretary's question have added a new dimension to the political arena.

Legal Proceedings

The interim government of Bangladesh has already accepted multiple cases against Sheikh Hasina. Initiatives have been taken to begin her trial on charges including genocide and crimes against humanity. Although India has not yet made any formal announcement regarding sending Hasina back, it is believed that discussions on this matter continue at the diplomatic level between the two countries.
