Sheikh Hasina to Break Silence in First Public Address Since Bangladesh Ouster


Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will make her first major public appearance on August 5, exactly two years after fleeing to India following mass student-led protests that ended her 16-year rule.

From her base in New Delhi, Hasina is scheduled to host a virtual press conference for international journalists.

The high-profile event is expected to draw intense geopolitical scrutiny as she is anticipated to give her firsthand account of the 2024 uprising, launch sharp critiques against Muhammad Yunus’s interim government, and address her ongoing political future.

This rare interactive briefing puts a fresh spotlight on New Delhi's delicate diplomatic stance.

While Dhaka has repeatedly pushed for her return to face domestic legal challenges, India has continued to host the ousted leader.

The virtual address is poised to trigger major political shockwaves across the region and ignite fresh debates over Bangladesh's transition to democracy.
