During his weekly media briefing, the spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, was asked whether India considers Hasina as a former PM of Bangladesh or a 鈥楶M in exile鈥�.
鈥榃e have repeatedly said that she [Sheikh Hasina] is a former prime minister, that is where it stands,鈥� Jaiswal replied at the ministry in New Delhi on Thursday.
He made the statement in response to an Indian journalist, who pointed out that the Awami League in a statement congratulated Donald Trump on his US presidential election win where Sheikh Hasina, also AL president, was described as 鈥楤angladesh PM鈥�.
