Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's visa has been canceled by the United States. Indian media News-18 reported this information about the sources of opposition parties in Bangladesh.
Yesterday, Monday, Sheikh Hasina was forced to leave power in the face of the student crowd. He then fled to India. He was flown to Hindon Air Base in Ghaziabad in a Bangladesh Air Force aircraft. Hasina wanted her to take political asylum in the UK.
However, a source said that the United Kingdom is not willing to give shelter to the ousted Sheikh Hasina.
