Sheikh Hasina's Delhi Address Triggers Bangladesh Fury: India-Bangladesh Reset at Risk?

Just weeks after signs of a diplomatic reset between India and Bangladesh, fresh tensions have erupted. Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, speaking from exile in Delhi, announced her intention to return to Bangladesh and face arrest if necessary—triggering a sharp reaction from Dhaka.

Bangladesh's Foreign Ministry has accused India of allowing a platform for remarks it calls an affront to Bangladesh's sovereignty, warning that the event could undermine improving bilateral ties. The controversy comes ahead of a possible visit by Bangladesh's Prime Minister to India.
