Jaishankar is expected to make a statement in Parliament on the Bangladesh crisis
Foreign Minister S Jaishankar will make a statement on Tuesday in Parliament on the ongoing crisis in Bangladesh.
The Committee on Security (CCS) headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi met and discussed the issue on Monday. The meeting was attended by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Jaishankar and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. Hasina arrived in India as part of her plan to visit London, several diplomatic sources said shortly after the Bangladesh Air Force C130J military transport plane carrying the Awami League chief landed in Hindon in Ghaziabad.
But that plan appeared uncertain on Monday evening, as British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said in London that the people of Bangladesh "deserve a full and independent UN-led investigation into the events of the 'last weeks'. National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, accompanied by senior officials, met Hasina at the Hindon Air Base and said she conveyed India's position on the developments in Bangladesh, sources said.
It is understood that Hasina has been moved to a safe place after the meeting and is unlikely to leave India on Monday evening. India has yet to comment on the developments in Bangladesh. Jaishankar is expected to make a statement in Parliament on Tuesday on the situation in the neighboring country.
