Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said India and Bangladesh have scripted a golden chapter of bilateral ties and given new dimension and direction to their partnership due to increasing trust between the two nations.
In his video message to mark the birth centenary celebrations of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the prime minister said 'Bangabandhu' devoted every moment of his life towards bringing Bangladesh out of the phase of devastation and genocide.
In an oblique reference to Pakistan, the prime minister said, "We are all witnessing that how making terror and violence weapons of politics and diplomacy destroys a society and a nation. The world is also watching where the supporters of terror and violence are currently placed and in what state they are, while Bangladesh is scaling new heights."
