Foreign Affairs Adviser Touhid Hossain stated that if BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman wishes to return to Bangladesh, the interim government could issue a travel pass within a day. Speaking at a Diplomatic Correspondents Association of Bangladesh (DCAB) event in Dhaka, Hossain mentioned that the government is unaware of Rahman’s current legal status in London but sees no reason any country would prevent his return. He also discussed the evolving Bangladesh-India relationship following the July uprising, noting that India may need time to adjust to the political changes in Dhaka. Hossain expressed optimism that bilateral working relations would normalize soon. Regarding former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal’s presence in India, he said there has been no official communication from Delhi or formal discussion about his return. On Sheikh Hasina’s situation, Hossain remarked that even if India does not return her, it will not hinder Dhaka-Delhi relations, though Bangladesh expects her repatriation due to her conviction.
