Sheikh Hasina may detail ‘homecoming’ plans, her visions for Bangladesh at presser in India on August 5
Sheikh Hasina, 78, will address a virtual news conference at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club in New Delhi on August 5, 2026, to announce her homecoming and outline her vision for Bangladesh.
Hasina has lived in self-exile in India since August 5, 2024, when her Awami League government collapsed amid student-led protests.
The event will include addresses by her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy and Awami League leaders Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury Nowfel and Shakib Al Hasan.
The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) government, which seeks Hasina's extradition, views the press conference negatively.
Hasina, sentenced to death by a tribunal in Dhaka for ordering lethal force against protesters, will participate in a question-and-answer session for the first time.
