Sheikh Hasina to make first major public appearance in India since 2024 Bangladesh ouster
Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will address a virtual program in New Delhi on August 5, 2026, hosted by the Foreign Correspondents' Club of South Asia.
This will be her first major public appearance in India since leaving Bangladesh in August 2024 after a student-led uprising.
Hasina is expected to discuss her political future and plans to return to Bangladesh.
Attendees include her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, former education minister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury Nowfel, and former cricketer Shakib Al Hasan.
Since her ouster, Bangladesh has seen an interim government led by Muhammad Yunus, followed by a Bangladesh Nationalist Party-led government under Prime Minister Tarique Rahman.
