Bangladesh has repeatedly asked India for Hasina’s extradition, but New Delhi, a close Hasina ally, says the request is under examination. AdvertisementShakib, a former parliamentarian from Hasina’s Awami League party, has remained outside Bangladesh since the uprising. Hours before Hasina’s address, which Shakib also joined, Prime Minister Rahman inaugurated a memorial museum dedicated to the 2024 uprising at Hasina’s official residence. Among the members of Hasina’s now-banned Awami League party, her announcement has rekindled hopes of a political comeback. Mubashar Hasan, a political observer and adjunct researcher at Western Sydney University’s Humanitarian and Development Research Initiative, says Hasina’s political challenges extend beyond the courtroom.
