Sheikh Hasina Addresses Media from Delhi, Plans December Return Amid Bangladesh-India Tensions
Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina addressed the media virtually from New Delhi on the second anniversary of her ouster following a student-led uprising in 2024. She announced plans to return to Bangladesh in December despite facing legal cases and potential risks, including arrest or death. Hasina criticized the current government, alleging the 2024 protests were manipulated for regime change. India distanced itself from the event, stating it was organized by a private entity. Bangladesh expressed outrage, viewing the interaction as an affront to its sovereignty and a strain on bilateral ties. Hasina's son raised security concerns, warning Bangladesh is becoming another Pakistan.
