Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Pranay Verma visited Tungipara on Wednesday and paid tributes to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on his 48th death anniversary.
He laid a floral wreath at the burial place of Bangabandhu, honouring his legacy and his contributions to shaping the history and progress of Bangladesh as an independent, modern nation.
Verma expressed his confidence that the vision and ideals of Bangabandhu will continue to guide and inspire the strong bonds of friendship between India and Bangladesh and their peoples for generations to come.
In honouring the legacy of Bangabandhu, the two countries are also reminded of their shared sacrifices in the Liberation War of 1971, which continue to provide the foundation for their special relationship.
The high commissioner also visited Orakandi, interacted with members of the Matua community and offered prayers at the shrine in Shridham Orakandi.
He said people-to-people contacts are at the heart of India-Bangladesh relations and reiterated India's commitment to bolstering cultural exchanges and development partnership between the two countries.
