The situation has triggered significant activity within the Indian security apparatus. On Monday night, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security to discuss the developments. Additionally, Hasina met with India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, accompanied by senior military and intelligence officers, soon after her arrival.
Sources indicate that Hasina is planning to meet her daughter, Saima Wazed, who resides in New Delhi and is working for the United Nations. This interaction is expected to take place during her stay in India.
Meanwhile, in Bangladesh, Hasina's departure has led to unrest. Mobs attacked and vandalised her official residence, looting personal belongings and damaging a statue of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh's independence hero and Hasina's father. The chaos stems from ongoing student protests over government job quotas, which resulted in over 250 deaths among students and security personnel during weeks of violent clashes.
