What happened

The Government of India told a parliamentary panel that Sheikh Hasina was not allowed to conduct political activities from India. The statement, as reported, focused on the Government of India’s position and the stated basis for restricting such political activity involving a foreign political figure.

Background and earlier position

Cross-border political activity can raise governance concerns for India, especially when political activity occurs within India’s territory and has implications for public order, internal security, or the management of foreign relations. Parliamentary oversight provides a formal route for the executive to explain restrictions that affect political conduct in a way that can be scrutinised by legislators.

What changed now

The reported change relates to executive accountability in Parliament: the Government of India informed a parliamentary panel that Sheikh Hasina was not allowed to conduct political activities from India and presented its rationale for the restriction in that oversight setting.
