Extradite Sheikh Hasina to Bangladesh for trial: Khaleda Zia's party to India

Fakhrul said "fascist ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country in the face of the student-led revolution".

Bangladesh Nationalist Party's (BNP) Secretary-General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Tuesday asked India to extradite deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to face trial as he accused her of plotting to thwart the country's student-led "revolution".

"It is our call to you that you should hand her over to the government of Bangladesh in a legal way. The people of this country have given the decision for her trial. Let her face that trial," Fakhrul was quoted as saying by the Daily Star newspaper.

Talking to reporters after placing a wreath at the grave of former president and BNP founder Zia-ur Rahman in the city, Fakhrul said India was seemingly not keeping its commitment towards democracy by providing shelter to her.

Fakhrul said "fascist ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country in the face of the student-led revolution".

"It is unfortunate that our neighbouring country has sheltered her. Staying there, Hasina has started a conspiracy to foil the victory of Bangladesh," he was quoted as saying by the state-run BSS news agency.
