The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, MoFA Mohammad Rafiqul Alam said on Tuesday that Bangladesh will decide on the next steps regarding ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's extradition after India's replies.
"Bangladesh will wait for a normal period for India's reply to its note verbale. If no response comes during the period, Bangladesh will send a reminder letter to India," Spokesperson said.
Replying to a question about how long it could wait, he replied that it depends on the issue being discussed.
"The issue of our discussion is very sensitive. We cannot bracket it within a normal period. Sometimes it takes years for an issue to be resolved."
On Monday Foreign Affairs Adviser Touhid Hossain told the media that Bangladesh has formally written to the Indian government to facilitate the return of Hasina to Bangladesh.
After the fall of the Awami League (AL) government, at least 60 cases or complaints of enforced disappearances, killings, genocide, and crimes against humanity were lodged at the International Crimes Tribunal, accusing Sheikh Hasina, leaders of the Awami League and 14 party alliance, and senior officials of different law enforcement agencies.
Numerous cases on various charges, including murder and attempt to murder, have also been filed against the ousted prime minister, who ruled the country with an iron fist for 15 years, and AL leaders.
