Indian President Pranab Mukherjee has extended his greetings and felicitations to the government and people of Bangladesh on the occasion of 45th Independence and National Day, hoping the ties between Bangladesh and India to scale new heights.
In a message to his Bangladesh counterpart Abdul Hamid, the Indian president said: “On behalf of the government, the people of India and on my own behalf, it gives me immense pleasure to extend warm felicitations and best wishes to you and to the people of Bangladesh on the occasion of your National Day.”
Mukherjee said the bilateral relations between India and Bangladesh have grown tremendously over the past few years, according to Press Information Bureau of India.
“I am confident that this relationship between our two countries will continue to expand and that our interaction and cooperation will scale new heights,” the message reads.
On this day in 1971, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman declared independence of Bangladesh through EPR wireless at 00-30 hours on March 26, the night following March 25 from his Dhanmondi 32 house.
The great leader also called upon the people to build a united resistance against the occupation forces.
