Indian envoy Dinesh Trivedi said India had little choice but to allow former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s aircraft to land in August 2024 amid anti-government protests. He described sheltering her as a neighbour’s duty and said India had to accept the reality of life. His remarks come amid Bangladesh’s renewed demand for Hasina’s extradition to Bangladesh over her return.
