Bangladesh’s interim government has initiated the process of revoking all diplomatic passports, including those of ousted premier Sheikh Hasina, her Cabinet ministers, and members of parliament (MPs), a senior official said on Thursday.

The move, for which a formal notification is yet to be issued, will also apply to the diplomatic passports of officials who were sent into mandatory retirement or whose contracts were terminated, the senior home ministry official, speaking on the condition that he would not be identified, told HT.
