Bangladesh government says it has no information that ousted PM Sheikh Hasina has been granted Indian citizenship
The Bangladesh Foreign Ministry said it has no information on whether ousted former PM Sheikh Hasina has been granted Indian citizenship.
“We do not have any information on whether former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has taken Indian citizenship,” ministry’s spokesperson Mohammad Rafiqul Alam was quoted as saying by Prothom Alo.
He said the current status of Hasina is under the jurisdiction of the Indian government.
Hasina, the longest-serving Prime Minister of Bangladesh, fled to India amid severe violent protests against her regime over a job quota row on August 5.
Last year, months before her ouster, Hasina had stormed back to power after winning the general elections.
An interim government, under the leadership of Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, took charge of Bangladesh, following her escape from the South Asian country that witnessed a politically tumultuous 2024.
The Yunus-led government last year revoked the deposed Prime Minister’s passport along with that of 97 other individuals for their alleged involvement in the July killings and enforced disappearances.
