External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar held discussions with UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy on Thursday regarding the situation in Bangladesh. Sheikh Hasina, the former Bangladeshi Prime Minister, resigned amid protests and is currently in India. Speculation about her seeking asylum in the UK was dismissed by her son, Sajeeb Wazed, who labeled it as "rumors." He emphasized that Hasina will return once democracy is restored in Bangladesh. The UK government is reportedly reluctant to offer her refuge, citing legal constraints. The Ministry of External Affairs in India stated that Hasina’s future plans remain undisclosed.
