Bangladesh's interim government expressed shock and concern over India allowing ousted PM Sheikh Hasina to deliver a public address from Delhi, warning it "sets a dangerous precedent" for bilateral relations. Hasina, living in exile since August 2024, accused Muhammad Yunus's administration of violence, minority persecution, and sexual assaults, urging citizens to overthrow the "murderous fascist" regime ahead of February 12 elections. Bangladesh's foreign ministry called her remarks "inciteful hate speech" that could destabilize the democratic transition, criticizing India for not honoring extradition obligations despite the International Crimes Tribunal's death sentence against her. The statement warned this undermines sovereignty norms and may impair future elected governments' ability to maintain mutually beneficial India-Bangladesh relations.
