Nearly two years after being forced out of Bangladesh, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina says she remains determined to return home despite facing a death sentence in absentia and a nationwide ban on her party, the Awami League.

Speaking from exile in an exclusive email interview with NDTV, Hasina asserted that her political struggle is far from over, declaring that she would return to Bangladesh this year. The interview came days after the Awami League marked its 77th Foundation Day on June 23 despite a nationwide ban, with several party workers reportedly detained during commemorative events.

In the wide-ranging interview, Hasina spoke about her planned return to Bangladesh, the future of the Awami League, allegations against the interim administration, the condition of minorities, and her life in exile.
