[Global Times Comprehensive Report] Will India be Hasina's final destination? Regarding this question, the Dhaka Tribune said on the 7th that "Even 48 hours after arriving in India, Hasina's final destination is still uncertain." Indian media reported that since the doors of Britain and the United States are currently closed to her, she is now exploring other options.

According to the Financial Times on the 7th, Hasina had planned to go to the UK. Her sister lives in the UK, and her niece Tulip Siddiq is a member of the ruling Labour Party and serves as the Secretary of Economic Affairs of the Ministry of Finance. However, a British official downplayed the possibility of Hasina being welcomed in the UK. The official said that the British policy is to urge anyone seeking international protection to apply for asylum in the first safe country they arrive in, which is the fastest way to safety.

According to India's CNN-News 18, sources close to the Bangladesh opposition said Hasina's visa to the United States has been revoked by the United States. The report said that the US move dealt Hasina a double blow after her plan to go to the UK was blocked. The Hindu said it was unknown whether Hasina had applied for a US visa after her resignation. However, officials said that since Hasina is no longer prime minister, the visa in her passport is "no longer valid."

Indian TV said the United States has had strained relations with Hasina for years, believing that Bangladesh's elections in January were not free and fair. In recent weeks, Washington has urged the Bangladeshi government to uphold the right to peaceful protest, while advising Americans not to travel to the Asian country due to "civil unrest." Hasina had previously claimed that she would easily win the January election if she allowed "a certain country" to build an air base in the country.

The Dhaka Tribune quoted The Hindu as saying that Hasina is also considering going to the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia or Finland. Her son Sajib Wazed Joy told New Delhi TV that she may go to places where her family lives, such as the United States, Britain, Finland and India.

According to the Indian Express on the 7th, Hasina is expected to stay in India for "a while". Sources said New Delhi is making plans to keep her in India "as long as possible". The report said that at present, her best option is to stay in India, where she is "safe", and senior Indian officials are discussing it. But sources reminded that all these discussions are "volatile" because the situation is "highly dynamic". (Zhang Wang)
