Death Penalty For Sheikh Hasina: India Mein Refuge Ya Wapas Dhaka?

New Delhi/Dhaka (Update – 17 November 2025): Bangladesh ki politics ko hila dene wala ek bada faisla saamne aaya hai.
Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina ko ek special/International Crimes Tribunal ne death sentence suna diya hai. Yeh verdict unke khilaaf 2024 ke student uprising aur us par hua alleged crackdown se juda hai.

Yeh trial unke bina maujoodgi ke hua, kyunki woh abhi India mein stay kar rahi hain.

Tribunal Ka Verdict: Kya Hua?

Tribunal ne 17 November ko Hasina ko crimes against humanity ke charges mein guilty paaya aur death penalty suna di.

Prosecution ka kehna tha ki 2024 ki student protests ke dauraan hundon log mare gaye aur severe abuses hue.
Defense ne ise political vendetta bataya, lekin trial unki non-presence mein hi complete hua.

India Mein Unka Stay — Kya Yeh Refuge Hai?

Reports ke mutabik Hasina August 2024 se India mein hain.
Unhone Bangladesh chhoda tha jab unke khilaaf protests aur attacks badh gaye the.

India ne unke stay par koi aggressive comment nahi diya, lekin diplomatic level par monitoring chal rahi thi.

Ab Dhaka ne formal extradition request bhej di hai.

Dhaka Ka Reaction: Extradition Ki Zor Daar Demand

Bangladesh Government ka kehna hai ki Hasina ko wapas bheja jaana chahiye taaki punishment execute ho sake.
Bangladesh ke foreign office ne India se kaha hai ki Hasina ko “as soon as possible” Dhaka return kiya jaye.

Is faisle ke baad Bangladesh ke kayi hisson mein protests, violence aur tension dekhne ko mili.

India Kya Karega? Diplomatic Catch-22 Situation

India ki foreign policy ab ek sensitive zone mein hai:

✔ अगर India Hasina ko Dhaka bhejta है

• Regional backlash ho sakta hai

• Human-rights concerns uth sakte hain

• Political instability badh sakti hai

✔ अगर India unhe wapas nahi bhejta

• Dhaka-Nehru diplomacy strain ho sakti hai

• Bangladesh India par interference ka आरोप लगा सकता है

• Region mein polarization ho sakti है

India ne फिलहाल कहा hai ki woh “constructively engage” karega — yaani carefully, legally aur diplomacy ke saath.

Legal Options: Kya Hasina Appeal Kar Sakti Hain?

Bangladesh ke laws allow karte hain ki death sentence par appeal file ki jaaye,
lekin:

• Appeal tabhi hogi jab Hasina physically court ke saamne appear hon

• Political environment unke favor mein hona zaroori hai

• International pressure bhi ek role play karega

Yani legally rasta khula hai, lekin practically mushkil lag raha hai.

International Reaction

Kai international bodies ne is verdict ko politically sensitive bataya hai.
Human-rights groups ne kaha hai ki death penalty ko reconsider kiya jaye.

Some countries ne Bangladesh se calm aur transparency ki appeal ki hai.

Sheikh Hasina ko death sentence milna South Asia ki politics ka ek bada turning point ban gaya hai.
Woh India mein stay kar rahi hain, Dhaka unhe wapas maang raha hai, aur region diplomacy tension se bhar gaya है।

Aage kya hoga — yeh depend karega:

• India ke final diplomatic stance par

• Bangladesh ke internal political pressure par

• International community ke interventions par

Filhaal, pura South Asia iss case par nazar jamaye hue hai।
