Sheikh Hasina arrived in India on Monday after fleeing Bangladesh

Ousted Bangladeshi PM Sheikh Hasina made a request to come to India "at very short notice", the Indian foreign minister told parliament.

Ms Hasina fled from Bangladesh to India on Monday evening after a political crisis toppled her government.

Foreign Minister S Jaishankar did not mention how long she would stay in the country or what her next steps would be.

In his first official comments since the crisis peaked in Bangladesh, he said India had been in regular contact with authorities in Dhaka over the past 24 hours.

Ms Hasina resigned on Monday after weeks of deadly anti-government protests. The country's army chief has promised that an interim government will be formed and new elections will be announced.

India shares a 4,096km (2,545 miles)-border with Bangladesh and has close economic and cultural ties with the country. There are worries that prolonged tensions in Bangladesh could spill over into India, which is seen as having supported Ms Hasina through her 15-year-long tenure despite her clamping down on dissent and jailing opposition leaders.

On Monday, India deployed additional troops along its border with Bangladesh.
