Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Pranay Verma has said Bangladesh's Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's legacy remains a "guiding light" for Bangladesh-India relations and the driving force of India's steadfast partnership with Bangladesh on its journey towards progress and prosperity.
The high commissioner and his wife visited Tungipara and paid tributes to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at his mausoleum Friday. He also laid a floral wreath there to pay homage to Bangabandhu.
In his written remarks, Verma highlighted the importance of the month of March in the history of Bangladesh and underlined Bangabandhu's vision for the development of Bangladesh and India-Bangladesh ties.
The high commissioner also took a guided tour of the museum, which showcases Bangabandhu's life and legacy, and the supreme sacrifices that he made for the independence and progress of Bangladesh.
Bangabandhu's fight for democracy, inclusivity and social justice continues to inspire people across the world, said Verma.
