India keeps a close watch as Bangladesh convicts former PM Sheikh Hasina ally

India is closely monitoring Bangladesh's political landscape as the Awami League faces increasing pressure. A recent tribunal verdict sentenced Hasanul Haque Inu, a close associate of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, to a decade in prison for "crimes against humanity" related to 2024 street protests. Inu, a long-time advocate for secularism and strong India ties, played a significant role in Bangladesh's liberation.
