When journalists sought to know about reports of Sheikh Hasina's passport and NID application and the Bangladesh High Commission's position in this regard, Jaiswal said people need documents for travel. However, this is a technical matter.

The Bangladesh High Commission itself can better state the political position on this matter. Regarding the request for Sheikh Hasina's extradition, he also referred to the latest discussions between the two countries on the matter as a legal process.

According to news agency Reuters, as part of preparations to return home, Sheikh Hasina has applied to the Bangladesh Embassy in Delhi for a new passport and NID. After being ousted in the 2024 student-people uprising, the Bangladesh government has sent several letters to India seeking her return.

Although her plan to return home next December has been reported, the matter may create new legal and political tensions as Awami League's activities are currently banned.
