India, Aug. 5 -- Sheikh Hasina Press Conference: Nearly two years after leaving Bangladesh amid one of the country's biggest political upheavals, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has publicly addressed the media from India for the first time. Speaking virtually at an event hosted by the Foreign Correspondents' Club of South Asia in New Delhi on Wednesday, Hasina defended her government's handling of the 2024 protests, rejected the legal cases against her and insisted that exile has not weakened her bond with the people of Bangladesh.

Her remarks came as Dhaka continues to seek her extradition and political tensions between India and Bangladesh remain under close watch.
