Dhaka, Bangladesh: Abdul Awal Mintoo, Vice-Chairperson of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Former President of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry, while speaking about the extradition of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that while Bangladeshi government has the right to ask India for Hasina’s extradition, Hasina too has the right to fight for her right in an Indian Court. Mintoo told ANI that Hasina is entitled to fair judgement through due process of law. “This is a highly political issue,” Mintoo said, when asked about the current status and if there is any problem in the extradition process. Mintoo further explained that as Hasina is living in a democratic country, i.e. India, she has the right to fight against the extradition request in an Indian court. In such an event, the court’s decision shall prevail. However, the situation is tangled as in such cases, even international laws get involved.
