August 5 marks two years since Hasina’s government was toppled after violent student-led protests in 2024, forcing her to flee to India.
Following elections earlier this year, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party formed the government under Prime Minister Tarique Rahman.
Dhaka has since sought Hasina’s extradition from India, while New Delhi has acknowledged receiving the request and said it remains under legal consideration.
