A wave of identical interviews with former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina across eight major Indian media outlets has sparked intense debate over journalistic ethics and political messaging. Published within 12 days before Hasina’s death sentence in absentia by Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal, the interviews featured nearly identical questions and answers, prompting journalist SNM Abdi to describe them as a coordinated public relations campaign rather than independent journalism. The Bangladesh government summoned India’s Deputy High Commissioner in Dhaka, accusing India of aiding a convicted fugitive, while India’s Press Club demanded an apology after being called ‘bootlickers’ by a Bangladeshi official. Analysts suggest the episode reflects deeper geopolitical tensions, with Hasina’s political fate tied to regional power dynamics involving India, China, and the United States. Abdi argues that the interviews failed to uphold journalism’s democratic role, serving instead as a vehicle for narrative management amid Bangladesh’s volatile political climate.
