India has acknowledged that it is examining Bangladesh’s extradition request for former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, marking a shift in its earlier silence on the issue.The move comes amid sustained pressure from Dhaka, now led by Tarique Rahman, which wants Hasina to return and face trial after being sentenced in absentia in 2025.With Hasina currently in India, the case presents a complex diplomatic and legal challenge. While New Delhi has stressed that the matter is under legal review, its response reflects a careful attempt to balance bilateral ties, legal obligations, and strategic interests in the region.

Yogi Adityanath Alleges ‘Identity Crisis’ In Bengal, Targets TMC Over Governance

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath intensified the political pitch in West Bengal, alleging that the state is facing an “identity crisis” due to the combined legacy of Congress, Left, and Trinamool Congress rule. Speaking at a rally in Jalpaiguri ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections, Yogi said Bengal, once regarded as a key driver of India’s economic growth, is now being “impoverished” due to corruption and alleged misgovernance under the TMC government. His remarks signal a sharper BJP campaign strategy as the party seeks to challenge Mamata Banerjee’s dominance in the state. The comments have added to the escalating war of words among major political players in the run-up to the polls.
