Sheikh Hasina to make first public appearance two years after Bangladesh ouster: Reports

Sheikh Hasina, the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, is scheduled to make her first public appearance in India, two years after her ouster from power. The event, hosted by the Foreign Correspondents Club of South Asia (FCC South Asia), is set to take place on August 5 at the Sir Mark Tully Auditorium in New Delhi, with live streaming on the organization's social media platforms.

Hasina is expected to address her future plans and discuss her proposed return to Bangladesh. Since fleeing Bangladesh on August 5, 2024, Hasina has made no public appearances, having left the country following student-led protests against a controversial quota system. The invitation to the event includes several Bangladeshi political leaders, diplomats, and public figures, with Hasina's son Sajeeb Wazed Joy among the attendees. The event will be chaired by FCC South Asia president Dr. Waiel Awwad.
