The leader of the Awami League is now facing more difficulties as the United States has canceled her visa, and the United Kingdom has refused her request for asylum.
According to Indian media, upon her arrival in India, Sheikh Hasina planned to head to London, where she was likely to seek political asylum or consider Finland as her next destination.
It was expected that Sheikh Hasina would stay in a secure location in India until she received a British visa, allowing her to apply for asylum in the UK. However, Indian media now report that the newly elected British Prime Minister, Kier Starmer, has declined to grant her asylum upon arrival due to the country’s policies.
According to the new policy, asylum seekers must first live in another country temporarily, where their behavior and reasons for seeking asylum are evaluated before they can be granted political asylum in the UK.
Indian media also reported that the United States has canceled Sheikh Hasina’s visa. However, the US has not officially commented on this issue.
A US State Department spokesperson stated in a press briefing yesterday that their government supports the people of Bangladesh.
The Modi administration, maintaining the friendship with Sheikh Hasina’s former government, has allowed her to stay in India until she secures political asylum in another country.
