What Happened
The government of Bangladesh issued a formal condemnation after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina addressed journalists via a virtual platform from New Delhi.

The incident has raised questions about the future of bilateral relations and regional stability as both nations navigate the fallout from the recent change in leadership.
