Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina paid a heartfelt tribute to Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat in New Delhi during her recent visit to India. Hasina laid a wreath at Gandhi’s memorial, reflecting on the enduring influence of the Father of the Nation on global peace and non-violence. Her homage at Rajghat underscores the deep historical and cultural bonds between India and Bangladesh, rooted in shared struggles for independence and democratic values.

The visit to Rajghat was a significant part of Hasina’s broader agenda to bolster bilateral relations with India. During her stay, she engaged in comprehensive talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing a wide array of issues from economic cooperation to regional security. This meeting highlighted the commitment of both nations to enhance collaboration and address mutual concerns, reinforcing their partnership in various sectors.

Hasina’s tribute to Gandhi also symbolizes Bangladesh’s respect for India’s legacy of non-violent resistance and its influence on Bangladesh’s liberation movement. As the two neighbors deepen their strategic ties, such gestures of reverence and recognition remind both countries of their shared heritage and the principles that unite them. This visit marks another chapter in the ongoing effort to strengthen the friendship and cooperation between India and Bangladesh.
