Sheikh Hasina Political Asylum:
After Sheikh Hasina left Bangladesh, it was being speculated that she would move from India to London and get political asylum in Britain. But with the passage of time, it has almost become certain that Sheikh Hasina is not going to get political asylum in Britain. Sheikh Hasina cannot stay in India for long, so she has now started looking for her new destination. It is being told that there are 5 countries on which Hasina is now eyeing, but there is some problem with all the countries. In such a situation, it is not possible to decide where Sheikh Hasina will go.
A question is arising in the minds of people that Bangladesh itself is a Muslim majority country and Sheikh Hasina has good relations with many Muslim countries, then why is she not going to any Muslim country. Experts believe that many Muslim countries are not suitable for Sheikh Hasina's security, while some Muslim countries may refuse to grant political asylum citing the conditions in Bangladesh. Despite this, there are some Muslim countries where Sheikh Hasina can consider visiting.
Why is Hasina not taking refuge in Muslim countries?
There are 57 officially declared Muslim countries in the whole world. Bangladesh also calls itself an Islamic country. Sheikh Hasina herself belongs to the religion of Islam. Despite this he has taken refuge in India. Experts say that even though Bangladesh is a Muslim country and there are 57 Muslim countries in the world, Bangladesh has good relations with them. But the relations and closeness that Bangladesh and Sheikh Hasina have with India are like no other. Sheikh Hasina has taken refuge in India thinking that she will be safer in India as compared to other Muslim countries.
Secondly, when Sheikh Hasina came to India from Germany with her husband and children in 1981, India had given her shelter and complete security without worrying about any problem, that too at a time when The Bangladesh Army had destroyed Hasina's entire family and that was Hasina and her family. They were planning to kill the family. Then India not only saved Haseena's life by providing high level security but also created a special place for India in Haseena's mind. Therefore, when Sheikh Hasina faced the dilemma of leaving Bangladesh, she thought it better to take refuge in India than going anywhere else and came here.
Meaning of political asylum:
Political asylum means giving protection in one's country to such persons who have fled the country due to feeling unsafe due to their political activities. We can easily understand this in this way - Suppose an Indian citizen does not feel safe in his own country, then he can seek political asylum in some other country. In the past too, many politicians, writers and agitators from across the world have been taking political refuge.
