Resigned Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina arrived in India on Monday evening, Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar comfirmed on Tuesday when speaking in parliament’s upper house Rajya Sabha.
This was the first time when the Indian government confirmed Hasina’s presence in the country, after she fled Bangladesh on Monday following large scale violence.
The minister told federal lawmakers that Hasina had sought India’s approval to come to the country, at very short notice; she requested approval to come for the moment to India.
“We simultaneously received a request for flight clearance from the Bangladesh authorities. She arrived yesterday evening in Delhi,” Jaishankar said. (Xinhua/NAN).
