Sharmeen Murshid On Hasina Verdict: 'Proofs Are Evident,' Questions India's Democratic Support
On India Today's 'India Uncensored', Sharmeen Murshid, an adviser to the interim government of Bangladesh, discusses the recent tribunal verdict against Sheikh Hasina, which the Awami League has rejected as politically motivated. Murshid defends the judicial process, challenges Hasina to return to Bangladesh to face the courts, and comments on India's stated position to not extradite her. According to Murshid, Hasina has the right to appeal the verdict but must be present in the country, stating, 'Ask her to come and appeal and I believe our court will welcome it and our people will welcome it'. She also criticises India for its past support of what she describes as undemocratic elections in 2014 and 2018, suggesting this has strained the relationship between the nations.
