Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has vowed to return to Bangladesh despite saying she could face arrest or imprisonment, declaring that "fear can't decide my duty." Speaking publicly for the first time since her 2024 ouster in a virtual address from New Delhi, Hasina alleged the July-August 2024 uprising was a "planned regime change" rather than a genuine student-led movement. She claimed the protests were orchestrated to remove her government outside the democratic process. The address came despite objections from Dhaka, while India reiterated that the event was organised by a private entity and did not reflect the Indian government's views or involvement.
