Two questions keep cropping up in the discourse on the present impasse in Bangladesh–India relations: (a) When will Sheik Hasina be extradited by India? and (b) Will Prime Minister Tarique Rahman be going to Delhi?

A visit by a former prime minister is important, as is a visit by a current prime minister, but the relationship between two states is much bigger than either.
