NEW DELHI, Nov. 20 -- National security adviser Ajit Doval on Wednesday held talks with his Bangladeshi counterpart Khalilur Rahman on a range of bilateral issues in Delhi, the highly anticipated meeting coming two days after a Bangladeshi tribunal gave the death sentence to former premier Sheikh Hasina after convicting her of crimes against humanity while cracking down on student-led protests last year, officials aware of the matter said. The discussions took place on the eve of the 7th meeting of the NSAs of the Colombo Security Conclave (CSC), a forum that seeks to promote closer cooperation between member states -- India, Maldives, Mauritius, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh -- on vital matters of security and to strengthen partnership for boosting regional security in the vast Indian Ocean region where China is boosting its influence, the officials said. The Bangladesh delegation to the NSA-level meeting of the CSC, led by Rahman, met Doval and his team on Wednesday, the High Commission for Bangladesh said in a statement. "They discussed the work of CSC and key bilateral issues," it said, adding that Rahman invited Doval to visit Bangladesh at his convenience. The meeting is being seen as significant as the foreign ministry in Dhaka on Monday demanded that New Delhi hand Hasina over to Bangladesh under a bilateral extradition treaty. The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT), a domestic war crimes court set up by the current regime, also gave her a separate sentence of imprisonment until death after convicting her of inciting, facilitating, being complicit in, and failing to prevent crimes against civilians by law enforcement and armed cadres of the Awami League party. Hasina, Bangladesh's longest-serving PM, resigned amid massive protests, and fled to India in August 2024. She reacted to the death sentence by saying it was announced by a "rigged tribunal established and presided over by an unelected government" and aimed at nullifying the Awami League as a political force....
