Before her resignation as Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina had alleged that conspiracies were being hatched to remove her from power and topple her government, even fearing that she could be assassinated like her father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, fondly referred to as Bangabandhu, friend of Bengal and the founder father of the country.

The recent developments in Bangladesh and West Asia were the focus of a significant conversation between India’s External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy. This discussion comes amid reports that former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina may be considering seeking asylum in the UK, a topic that has generated much speculation.

He said the violence must stop and those responsible must be brought to justice to help the people of Bangladesh move forward as a nation.

Muhammad Yunus, a Nobel laureate, is set to take oath as the head of Bangladesh's interim government on Thursday.
