孟加拉国被推翻的前领导人谢赫·哈西娜计划于8月5日在新德里通过虚拟方式发表演讲，引发孟加拉国政府的外交抗议[1]。孟加拉国国务外交部长沙玛·欧贝德·伊斯兰表示，"我们不希望印度-孟加拉关系因逃犯指控人士的声明而受到伤害"[1]。孟加拉国政府指责印度允许哈西娜从其领土进行政治活动，称这将损害两国关系[1]。
印度外交部对此作出回应，发言人兰迪尔·杰斯瓦尔表示"政府没有任何参与，也不赞同在论坛上表达的任何观点"[1]。印度方面声称该活动由私营媒体实体主办，具体在南亚外国记者俱乐部举办的名为"谢赫·哈西娜回归"的活动中进行[1]。
哈西娜自2024年8月被学生抗议推翻后一直在印度生活[1]。孟加拉国对其的引渡请求仍在考虑中[1]。
Bangladesh has lodged a formal complaint with India over plans for ousted former leader Sheikh Hasina to deliver a virtual address from New Delhi on August 5, 2026 [1]. The speech, scheduled to take place at an event titled "Sheikh Hasina's Return" organized by the South Asia Foreign Correspondents' Club, has triggered diplomatic tension between the two neighboring nations [1].
Bangladesh's State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shamarma Obaed Islam expressed concern over the planned address, stating: "We do not wish the India-Bangladesh relationship to be damaged by statements from those accused of fleeing justice" [1]. Hasina has been living in India since being overthrown during student-led protests in August 2024 [1], and Bangladesh has submitted an extradition request that remains under consideration [1].
India's Ministry of External Affairs has distanced itself from the event, with spokesman Randhir Jaiswal asserting: "The government has no involvement and does not endorse any views expressed on the forum" [1]. According to Indian officials, the event is being organized by a private media entity rather than any government agency [1].
