Sheikh Hasina, the ousted leader of Bangladesh, is set to remain in Delhi for the time being after fleeing her country on Monday. This follows her decision to seek refuge in India after facing political turmoil in her homeland. While the details surrounding her departure remain unclear, her presence in Delhi has sparked international attention and raised questions about her future.
Meanwhile, the UK has officially denied providing asylum to Sheikh Hasina. A spokesperson for the UK Home Office told NDTV, “The UK has a proud record of providing protection for people who need it. However, there is no provision for someone to be allowed to travel to the UK to seek asylum or temporary refuge. Those who need international protection should claim asylum in the first safe country they reach – that is the fastest route to safety.”
This statement reflects the UK’s policy on asylum seekers, emphasizing the importance of seeking refuge in the first safe country one reaches. It remains unclear what Sheikh Hasina’s long-term plans are, but her current presence in Delhi signifies a significant shift in her political journey. As the situation unfolds, the international community will be closely watching to see how this saga progresses.
