Following weeks of protests spearheaded by students that descended into deadly, countrywide violence, Ms. Hasina was abruptly removed from office on August 5. Although it was once anticipated that she would only be in India temporarily, there have been rumors circulating that she has been unsuccessful in her attempts to obtain asylum in the US, the UK, and the UAE.
Her continuous presence in India has made it difficult for Delhi to forge a solid rapport with the recently elected interim administration in Dhaka.
Bangladesh is more than just a neighboring nation to India. It is an important close ally and strategic partner for the security of India’s borders, especially in the northeastern states.
Armed insurgency groups from India’s northeastern regions find it relatively easy to enter into Bangladesh in search of safety due to the two countries’ porous 4,096 km (2,545 mi) shared border.
Following its ascent to power in 2009, Ms. Hasina’s Awami League party repressed a number of these ethnic militant organizations. Ms. Hasina also skillfully handled a number of border disputes with India.
