She will stay temporarily only…
On Monday, Media reports said, India has granted former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina an interim stay after the collapse of her government in the South Asian country.
During this period, India will offer comprehensive logistical support as Hasina pursues asylum in the UK.
Her stay in the country is approved only temporarily, pending her relocation to Britain.
Sheikh Hasina resigned on Monday following unprecedented anti-government protests. She is on her way to London through India.
Till now, there has been no confirmation from the UK government regarding the grant of political asylum for the former Bangladesh PM, Daily Sun reported.
Hasina is seeking asylum in the UK, with her sister Rehana, and UK citizen accompanying her.
Rehana is the younger daughter of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and Sheikh Fazilatun Necha Mujib is also the younger sister of Sheikh Hasina.

"I'm taking all responsibility for the country. Please cooperate with us," he said in a televised address.
