Hi,
I find Honourable Hasina's conversation interesting, because she handled the questions quite nicely. A PM alone can not do and she can not answer several things in yes/no format, what reporters want. When CNN blame, Government of Bangladesh for corruption, why do they not ask USA to stop exploiting other countries. Why should Bangladesh be accountable to USA for answering the state of labour rights in their country?
In connection to Honourable Mamata, I think we have to understand that thinking and articulating the thinking goes hand by hand. Somehow in our education, we do not connect this aspect and do not prepare people to reflect on their own thinking. One more problem is we start relying too much on our common sense understanding in solving social and political problems. I think this speech of Mamata madam forced us to revisit these aspects.
I am giving some links of Navjot Singh Sidhu's debate in Parliament. I found these debates interesting. These are with different tone but entertaining.

I do not think Hasina was hilarious. She did not have a particularly good position to sit in. She could not just admit the truth that her country was corrupt to the core, including most people who run her own government. For a really hilarious one, see the Mamata Banerjee video:
