Sheikh Hasina's son Sajeeb Wazed expressed "eternal gratitude" to PM Modi for ensuring his mother's safety after Bangladesh's interim government requested her extradition following a death sentence. The International Crimes Tribunal sentenced Hasina in absentia for alleged crimes against humanity during student-led protests. Wazed argued the interim administration lacks legal standing, stating India has no extradition obligation since Bangladesh's government is unconstitutional and due process wasn't followed. Hasina called the verdict "biased" and "politically motivated," alleging it came from a "rigged tribunal" under Muhammad Yunus's unelected government. The Awami League rejected the ruling as "malicious, retaliatory, and vengeful," criticizing the tribunal as illegal.
