Bangladesh: Reservation, student protest and hundreds of lives were lost until Sheikh Hasina, who was the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, resigned from her post and took temporary refuge in India.
Asylum in India:
It is doubtful whether India will continue to support Sheikh Hasina. While Sheikh Hasina is said to be going to England next, according to the information released on behalf of the country, ‘For security reasons, the first country a leader takes refuge in is the safest country for him. So it is suggested that it is better for him to stay in India.
India’s position:
But various reasons are said that it will affect India as there are people against Sheikh Hasina in Bangladesh and Sheikh Hasina’s presence in India will cause tension on Bangladesh border. So Sheikh Hasina cannot stay in India for long. Thus, Sheikh Hasina is planning to go to Finland or the United Arab Emirates.
This is not the first time…
This is not the first time that Sheikh Hasina has sought refuge in India for safety reasons. It is noteworthy that Sheikh Hasina sought refuge in India in the same way in 1975.
Sheikh Mujbur Rahman:
If the incident of 1975 is to be mentioned, it should be said about Sheikh Hasina’s father and Sheikh Mujbur Rahman, who is called the father of the nation in Bangladesh. He first participated in the Indian freedom struggle and then became a prominent leader in East Pakistan (present-day Bangladesh) in the breakaway Pakistan from India.
Father of Bangladesh:
After Sheikh Mujbur Rahman’s party won a majority in the 1970 elections, he pushed for a separate country called Bangladesh, separated from Pakistan. It was supported by the then Indian government led by Indira Gandhi and with the help of the Indian Army, after winning the war against Pakistan, Bangladesh became an independent country in 1971. Sheikh Mujbur Rahman emerged as the father of Bangladesh. Sheikh Mujbur Rahman became the first Prime Minister of independent Bangladesh on behalf of the Awami League.
In 1975…
Sheikh Hasina is the eldest child of Sheikh Mujbur Rahman. She was living in Britain with her husband and children in 1975. On August 15, 1975, Sheikh Mujbur Rahman, the father of Bangladesh, was killed by the local army. And all of Sheikh Hasina’s family members were killed.
6 years of asylum:
When Sheikh Hasina realized that the situation in Bangladesh was deteriorating, she asked India for help. The Government of India immediately helped. It is noteworthy that Sheikh Hasina, who came directly from Britain to Delhi with her family in 1975, took refuge in India in Bhandara area of Delhi for about 6 years until 1981.
Long-term Prime Minister:
After that, Sheikh Hasina became the Prime Minister of Bangladesh from 1996 to 2001 after various regime changes. Later, Sheikh Hasina, who won again in 2009, was the Prime Minister of Bangladesh for about 15 years till August 5, 2024.
