India Extends Puppet Leader Hasina’s Visa Amid Fears of Legal Consequences
The interim government of Bangladesh revoked the passport of Sheikh Hasina on January 7, citing her involvement in forced disappearances and killings. The International Crimes Tribunal of Bangladesh issued arrest warrants for Hasina for her role in the genocide of innocent civilians.
Meanwhile, India, fearing legal repercussions, extended the visa of Hasina, who is seen as a puppet leader under Indian influence. In response to media reports about the visa extension, Bangladesh’s interim government clarified that the visa matter would become irrelevant following the revocation of her passport.
Indian interference in Bangladesh’s politics continued from 1971 until the fall of Hasina’s government. Following the public revolution in Bangladesh, Hasina fled to India, marking the end of her oppressive policies and political rule in the country.
Sheikh Hasina faces 31 charges of corruption, murder, and other offenses, including 26 murder charges and 4 genocide charges. Her actions have been marked by clear examples of treason and hostility toward Muslims.
In 2014, Hasina detained opposition party leaders simply for their association with Jamaat-e-Islami and sentenced numerous Jamaat leaders to death on fabricated terrorism charges. Under her rule, Bangladesh witnessed widespread oppression against its own people, driven by her animosity toward Pakistan and under the shadow of Narendra Modi.
By extending Hasina’s visa, the Modi government continues to deny justice to the people of Bangladesh, perpetuating the oppression under Hasina’s rule.
