Center-Right Owned by Adani Group (AMG Media)Sheikh Hasina Asks For New Passport For Bangladesh Homecoming: Report
What's behind this
Following her undemocratic ouster in 2024, former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been living in India. She has applied to the Bangladesh Embassy in New Delhi for a new passport and national identity card to enable a planned return to Bangladesh in December. The move is described by the Tarique government as a political stunt, while the sudden, chaotic vacuum left in Dhaka after her removal has been called a geopolitical nightmare for South Asia. The application is presented as more than a personal quest for homecoming.
