BNP Acting Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has said that former prime minister Sheikh Hasina has no option to return to Bangladesh on her own and must be brought back under the extradition treaty between Bangladesh and India.
He made the remarks at a discussion meeting organised by the Jatiyatabadi Mohila Dal at the National Press Club on Friday morning, marking the National Revolution and Solidarity Day.
Rizvi said the 17 years of what he described as fascist rule resembled the period of misrule between 1972 and 1975. He said the student-led mass uprising, inspired by the spirit of November 7, brought an end to that rule and forced Hasina to flee the country.
He further criticised those suggesting that Hasina should be brought back, saying that she had fled the country after the loss of many lives.
Rizvi reiterated that Hasina would be brought back to Bangladesh under the extradition treaty signed between Bangladesh and India.
