Jumbangla Desk: Sheikh Hasina was described by many as 'Iron Lady' for the past one era. Many could not have imagined that a prime minister who had been in power for 15 and a half years would run away from the country like this. No person was forced to flee the country after being overthrown in the history of Bangladesh.

Hasina

On August 5, Sheikh Hasina and her sister Sheikh Rehana were forced to flee to the neighboring country of India in the face of the intense movement of students. However, before his escape, there were many dramas from Sunday night and Monday morning.

Sheikh Hasina held talks with Indian officials asking for security in phases till noon on August 5. He told them that he did not feel safe to board any plane in Dhaka. Security advisor Ajit Doval is one of them. Hasina told Doval several times, 'I have decided to leave the country. I have no other options at the moment. Because the people as well as the army have gone against me. In this situation, you have to leave the country to save your life. So if India sends a plane then I can leave the country safely.'

However, despite Hasina's repeated requests, the plane did not arrive from India. There is still a lot of debate as to why India did not send the aircraft.

There is a rumor that in response to Hasina's request, Doval said, "We are seeing what can be done." A high-level meeting was also held in Delhi. Opinions of opposition political parties are also taken. After that, it is said that it will not be right for India to send the aircraft due to various reasons. Let Bangladesh be told that they should send Sheikh Hasina safely to Delhi on their own responsibility. Dhaka was on fire. At any moment, the angry mob can take over the Ganobhaban. Even after being taken to the cantonment, the army leadership was worried about the situation. In such a situation, it will be difficult for the army to provide security to Hasina. Thousands of lives will be lost if these angry mobs are to be dealt with.

On the other hand, the frightened Hasina is also desperate to leave the country. Repeatedly requested the military administration to take a decision. He said that they should take measures to send him to Delhi as soon as possible. General Waqar-uz-Zaman discussed the matter with his colleagues. Everyone then unanimously agreed to send Hasina abroad. After this, Hasina was sent to Delhi in Bangladesh's own plane.

The question is why India did not send a plane to pick up Hasina. Diplomatic sources say that they have taken this decision thinking about future politics. Indian leaders then reasoned that if India took Hasina on its own plane, many questions would arise in the international arena.

It will be said that if a third country rescues a ousted president or prime minister from one country in the name of security, the independence and sovereignty of the country will be questioned. People of Bangladesh are already anti-India. Apart from this there was another reason. India wanted to prove that Bangladesh pushed their Prime Minister like this.

Audio leaked, what Sheikh Hasina said about Abu Saeed

According to a responsible diplomatic source, due to the indecisiveness of the Bangladeshi authorities, India even threatened to think of alternative tough measures if they did not send Hasina quickly. Before leaving the country, Hasina wrote a three-page handwritten note. He also spoke to a member of his press team. This member is now incognito. Hasina did not leave the writing. Take it to Delhi in a vanity bag. After reaching there, he spoke on the phone with some of his trusted colleagues in Dhaka around 12 o'clock that night. Then comes the topic of this article. It was not possible to know the details.
