Diplomatic Correspondent
British Foreign Secretary David Lammy on Thursday dialed India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and discussed the unfolding situation in Bangladesh and West Asia.
“Received a call from UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy today. Discussed the situation in Bangladesh and West Asia,” Jaishankar confirmed through his social media handle X, formerly known as Twitter.
Following her resignation as Prime Minister of Bangladesh and leaving Dhaka earlier on Monday, Sheikh Hasina will reportedly remain in India until granted political asylum in a third country.
Indian media sources indicate that Hasina is seeking asylum in the UK. But her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy declined the claim.
