Hasina will also provide detailed information on politicians in West Bengal who are allegedly backing the Jamaat in its agitation against the pro-India Awami League government, the report added. Recently, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP from the Rajya Sabha Ahmed Hasan Imran was accused of channelising Saradha funds to Bengladesh to help the trouble makers.

The Bangladeshi government will also furnish details about how the Jamaat had helped a particular political party during the 2011 assembly election in Bengal and also in the Lok Sabha election hedl earlier this year.

Dhaka has also put a bar on Imran's entry to Bangladesh, the report said.

Bangladeshi intelligence agency National Security Investigation has prepared a file on how funds from the scam were channelised across the border and invested in banks and hospitals linked to Islamic organisations.
