The advisor says action will be taken if court summons the former prime ministerEven if India grants a travel pass to former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, it will not deteriorate the bilateral relationship between the two countries, says Foreign Advisor Touhid Hossain. “However, if she [Sheikh Hasina] is summoned by a court regarding any case, the foreign ministry will take necessary actions,” he added. Hasina fled to India on Aug 5 after stepping down as prime minister in the face of massive public protests and political upheaval. Recent reports suggest that Hasina has taken refuge in Ajman, United Arab Emirates, after leaving India. “If they wish to return to the country, travel passes can theoretically be issued, allowing them to travel one way back to Bangladesh,” said Touhid.
