Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), led by Tarique Rahman, renewed push for ousted former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's extradition from India, just hours after the party secured a sweeping win in the general elections. Senior party leader Salahuddin Ahmed said the party remains firm on its stance of Hasina's extradition. “The foreign minister has already persuaded the case for her extradition, and we also support it,” the senior BNP leader said, reported PTI. ‘Always press for her extradition…’ The senior BNP leader Ahmed's comments about Sheikh Hasina's extradition came soon after the BNP's sweeping victory in the general elections held on Thursday. The Awami League did not participate in the election after being barred from political activities, marking a significant change in the country's political landscape.
