# Bangladesh Condemns Sheikh Hasina’s Virtual Delhi Press Conference 2026-08-06T10:55:43+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Bangladesh’s government said it was “outraged” after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina addressed a virtual press conference from India on August 5, the second anniversary of the uprising that removed her from power. The event was organised by the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of South Asia in New Delhi. Bangladesh’s Foreign Ministry called it an “affront to the sovereignty of Bangladesh” and an insult to those killed in the movement. The ministry said Hasina had been convicted and sentenced to death in absentia over the 2024 protest crackdown, and accused India of ignoring repeated extradition requests under the 2013 Bangladesh-India treaty. India’s response was not reported. Hours after the event, attackers damaged and set fire to the ancestral home of former captain Shakib Al Hasan, who had joined the conference virtually. ## Coverage - ndtv.com - deccanherald.com - thehindu.com - thehindu.com Tags: Bangladesh, diplomacy, India-Bangladesh relations, Sheikh Hasina Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bangladesh-protests-sheikh-hasinas-virtual-new-delhi-appearance/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
