UK Foreign Secretary calls Jaishankar to discuss unfolding situation in Bangladesh

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy has dialed India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and discussed the unfolding situation in Bangladesh and West Asia.

He said, “Received a call from UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy today. Discussed the situation in Bangladesh and West Asia,” Jaishankar on Thursday confirmed through his social media handle X, formerly known as Twitter.

Following her resignation as prime minister of Bangladesh and leaving Dhaka earlier on Monday, Sheikh Hasina will reportedly remain in India until granted political asylum in a third country, reports UNB.

Indian media sources indicate that Hasina is seeking asylum in the UK. But her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy declined the claim.
