Foreign Advisor Touhid Hossain has offered a markedly different account from that of the Chief Advisor’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam over the possibility of India beginning extradition proceedings with Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal “very soon”. Speaking in Dhaka on Sunday, Touhid mentioned “two issues” involving Kamal, former home minister sentenced to death for crimes against humanity during the July Uprising. And I have no information that extradition will begin with him.”Touhid spoke at a discussion organised by the Diplomatic Correspondents Association, Bangladesh (DCAB). Citing India’s remark that Dhaka’s request was “under review”, he wrote: “We know [Hasina] has powerful sympathisers. Both Hasina and Kamal have been in India since the fall of the Awami League government on Aug 5, 2024.
