India providing a travel pass to ousted Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina will not deteriorate the ties between the two countries, said Foreign Adviser Md Touhid Hossain yesterday (12 October).
"Any country can issue a travel document to any individual. We have no way to prevent this. However, if a court orders her [Sheikh Hasina] to appear, we will take appropriate measures," he said during a visit to the Sheba Sangha Temple in Narsingdi.
