Bangladesh Elections: Sheikh Hasina's Big Remark On India As Bangladesh Votes Today | India Tod

As Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is poised to retain power while the country votes today without any opposition, the 76-year-old leader said, "India is a trusted friend". She also mentioned it was India that "gave shelter" to the people of Bangladesh during the Liberation War in 1971. Asked about her message to India on election day, Hasina said, ''We are very lucky. India is our trusted friend. During our Liberation War, they supported us. After 1975, when we lost our whole family, they gave us shelter. Our best wishes to the people of India." India and Bangladesh share a close and multifaceted relationship marked by historical, cultural, and economic ties, which has strengthened more in the recent past. Hasina and Prime Minister Narendra Modi also share an evolving relationship marked by frequent personal interactions and progress on key bilateral issues, including connectivity projects, trade liberalisation, as well as border management, among other areas. #bangladesh #bangladeshelectionnews #bangladeshelections #bangladeshpolls #sheikhhasina #bangladeshnationalistparty #indiatoday Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
