, Nov. 26 -- Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain on Wednesday said Bangladesh expects an answer from India on its latest request for extradition of convicted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

"I do not expect that they will answer within a week of Dhaka's request but we expect we will get an answer," he told reporters at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when a journalist wanted to know about the update on Hasina's extradition request.

When pressed further, Hossain said he is not saying that Dhaka is not going to get an answer but the fact is that they are not expecting a reply within seven days.

Bangladesh wrote to India afresh seeking Hasina's extradition following the recent verdict by the International Crimes Tribunal-1.
