The recent death sentence handed to Sheikh Hasina by Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal has ignited controversy, with allegations from a former Indian envoy suggesting foreign interference, potentially from agencies like the ISI or CIA, in the tribunal’s processes. Critics, including former Indian diplomats, argue that the verdict is politically motivated and undermines regional stability, potentially straining India-Bangladesh relations given India’s obligation to consider any extradition requests linked to Hasina. The Awami League leader and her supporters categorize the trial as a politically motivated attack, aimed at diminishing her party’s influence. This situation highlights the complexities of Bangladesh’s political landscape and the broader geopolitical ramifications for the region, prompting India to advocate for a measured, constructive approach to the unfolding events.
