The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) stated on August 7, 2026, that the government does not endorse comments made by former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina during her recent private event in Delhi.
Hasina, currently in India, addressed supporters claiming she may face arrest in Dhaka, while her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy alleged Bangladesh is becoming 'another Pakistan' due to rising extremism.
India maintains a policy of non-interference in Bangladesh's internal affairs, with officials emphasizing that Hasina's platform was private and does not reflect New Delhi's official diplomatic position.
