Since Sheikh Hasina’s ouster and her taking refuge in India, anti-India sentiment has been peaking in Bangladesh.

Recently BNP leader Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir demanded Hasina’s extradition, warning that her continued presence in India could severely damage Indo-Bangla relations. With Mohammed Yunus as interim leader and a BNP government likely on the horizon, the call for Hasina’s return is intensifying. So, will India bow to this demand or hold its ground?

And can Bangladesh, under BNP leadership, if elected to power, afford a strained relationship with its neighbour? Will historical ties hold firm, or will this be a new crisis for India-Bangladesh relations?

In this episode of Geeta's World, our host, Anna Priyadarshini, and the foreign affairs editor at India Today, TV Today Network, Geeta Mohan, discuss!
