Has India rejected Extradition of Sheikh Hasina ??? :::: "No one should use Bangladesh territory for anti-India activities" ::::: Security is New Delhi's biggest concern in Bangladesh -- Dhaka had enhanced cooperation with Beijing and Islamabad under Yunus

India and Bangladesh are important neighbours.

Narendra Modi decides to 'defend' and 'protect' India's friend Sheikh Hasina ... even after Dhaka court's verdict !!

(New Delhi virtually rejects Extradition request) 

India maybe on a Tricky situation over Death Sentence to Sheikh Hasina

There is always a need for a new dynamism in Indo-Bangladesh ties. Come what may - an interim regime or even army rule; the Modi Govt's top most priority in Bangladesh is always to ensure that no one can or no militant group from northeast could use Bangladeshi territory for activities harmful to India.

In a statement - MEA said :

“As a close neighbour India remains committed to the best interest of people of Bangladesh including in peace, democracy, inclusion and stability in that country. We will always engage constructively with all stakeholders to that end”. 

Hasina calls verdict "biased"

In the past; numerous northeast militant groups run by Nagas, Assamese youths such as ULFA and insurgents from Tripura, Mizoram and Meghalaya have taken shelter in Bangladesh. They would also from time to time receive training in guerrilla warfare from Bangladeshi and Pakistan's ISI officers.

Since August 2024; the Yunus regime in Dhaka has been building up their Defence forces on an urgent level. Airfields were being renovated and in this context by March–April 2025, Bangladesh's interim government initiated the "revival of the World War II-era" Lalmonirhat airbase, located near the India-Bangladesh border. 

They have been also Building up the fleet with Chinese assistance. 

The Yunus regime has been doing enough for enhancing Pakistani foot prints

** Among others, Lt Gen Tabassum Habib met Dhaka officials and reportedly focused on professional military education  and institutional defence links.

**  Gen Sahir Shamshad Mirza with ISI representatives met Chief Adviser Yunus and also service chiefs to discuss about intelligence sharing and defence cooperation.

Thanks to Bangladesh and Sheikh Hasina -- "ULFA was crippled"

In 1999 under Sheikh Hasina regime -- for the first time the Bangladesh army was involved in trying to clear out Indian militant groups from northeast India in Chittagong Hill Tracts. However, Indian agencies later complained that the entire operation was reduced to a farce as ultras were given prior information.

But after 2009, when P Chidambaram was Home Minister and Manmohan Singh was the Prime Minister- the Dhaka authorities cooperated and several ULFA leaders from Assam were handed over to BSF and other Indian security forces.

This crippled ULFA's spinal cord and the majority section of the ULFA outfit came out for peace talks. The parleys are officially on informally. However, a breakaway faction led by Paresh Baruah is pursuing anti-India designs.
