No positive response over Hasina’s extradition from India yet, says Touhid
  Bangla Press Desk: Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain on Monday said Bangladesh is yet to receive any positive response from India regarding its request for former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s extradition to face trial at home. "There is no new information on this. Bangladesh has asked India to return Sheikh Hasina to face trial. There has been no positive response from India yet," he told reporters at the Foreign Service Academy. Hasina fled from Bangladesh on August 5 last year in the face of massive student-led protests. Touhid Hossain said Bangladesh is waiting for a response from New Delhi.
He said Hasina's trial has already begun and whether someone comes or not, the trial does not stop. Responding to a question on whether the government will seek international assistance to bring Sheikh Hasina back to the country, the Foreign Affairs Adviser said the government can seek assistance if it deems it necessary. "However, I do not see any need at the moment." Last month, the Foreign Adviser said the government would continue to pursue her extradition of former Prime Minister Hasina, currently reported to be in India since August 5 last year. Bangladesh sent a diplomatic note (note verbale) to India in December last year, along with a set of supporting documents, formally requesting Hasina's extradition.
