Sheikh Hasina to Address Media Virtually from India Amid Bangladesh's Diplomatic Concerns
Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India in August 2024 after her government was ousted, is set to make her first public appearance in two years via a virtual event in New Delhi on August 5. The event, organized by the Foreign Correspondents' Club of South Asia, will feature Hasina speaking through an audio link about her political future and plans to return to Bangladesh. Bangladesh has formally requested India to prevent Hasina from making political statements from its territory, warning such actions could destabilize bilateral relations. India has acknowledged these concerns and said it will consider the matter carefully. The event coincides with the second anniversary of Hasina's ouster amid ongoing legal and political tensions between the two countries.
