Following the court’s verdict sentencing former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to death for crimes against humanity during the July uprising, National Citizens Party (NCP) South Regional Organizer Sarjis Alam reacted strongly. In a verified Facebook post on November 17, Alam declared that Bangladesh’s relations with India would not normalize until India returns Hasina to Bangladesh and assists in carrying out the court’s ruling. The court found Hasina guilty of killing six people in Chankharpur during the uprising. Alam’s comments reflect growing political tension and public reaction to the controversial verdict, which has already sparked celebrations and protests across various parts of the country. The statement underscores the potential diplomatic strain between Bangladesh and India over the issue of extradition and implementation of the death sentence.
