  "account": "Recent tensions surrounding ousted Bangladesh leader Sheikh Hasina's media event in Delhi have prompted High Commissioner Dinesh Trivedi to potentially meet with Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman today. Trivedi, speaking at an event at the Indian Visa Application Centre in Dhaka, expressed confidence in resolving the issues between the two nations following their upcoming meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rahman. Hasina had previously announced her intention to return to Bangladesh in December to restore democracy, despite potential imprisonment or a death sentence. However, Bangladesh's Foreign Ministry condemned Hasina's virtual press conference, citing its potential to hurt national sentiments and harm bilateral ties with India. Rahman's foreign advisor also raised concerns about the negative impact such activities could have on improving relations. While Dhaka has not yet confirmed or denied Rahman's attendance at the upcoming BRICS summit in New Delhi, reports suggest the matter is almost certain. India had previously invited Rahman as chair of the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) and has extended an invitation for the BRICS outreach session.",
