Bangladesh not serious about extradition of Sheikh Hasina?

Bangladesh has repeatedly demanded the extradition of its former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from India but it seems that India is in no mood to take any action on the request. Sheikh Hasina has been living in India since August 5 after she fled the country. The request was sent by the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi through a note verbale which is the lowest level of diplomatic conversation and it is not usually used for sensitive cases such as extradition requests. Sources claim that Bangladesh is seeking Hasina’s extradition only to satisfy its own people, especially the student groups.

Will BJP lose its only ally in Kerala?

The BJP has only one ally in Kerala i.e. Bharath Dharma Jana Sena (BDJS). The ally has helped the BJP in making inroads to the Hindu - Ezhava vote banks. But now it is considering reviewing its alliance with the saffron party. The Kottayam district leadership of the BDJS had passed a resolution demanding the party to end the alliance with BJP. The party President Thushar Vellappally was also present at the meeting. Lack of adequate consideration for the ally is thought to be the main reason behind the move. Now the political analysts are discussing whether BJP will lose its only partner in Kerala?
