It may take time to hand over PK Halder: Indian HC Doraiswami
India's High Commissioner to Dhaka Vikram Doraiswami said it could take time to hand over PK Halder to Bangladesh as legal processes have to be followed in these matters.
Doraiswami made the remarks while answering a question to reporters following a courtesy call on Bangladesh's Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen.
The subject of discussion of the courtesy call was discussing the preparation for the next meeting of Bangladesh-India Joint Consultative Commission (JCC) slated to be held on 30 May in Delhi.
