Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will leave Dhaka for New Delhi on
Saturday to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Narendra Modi as the
Prime Minister of India for a third consecutive term.
"The Prime Minister will leave Dhaka for New Delhi at 11am on Saturday and will return home at noon on June 10 after attending swearing-in ceremony of Narendra Modi," PM's Speech Writer M Nazrul Islam told BSS. Earlier on Wednesday, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi invited his Bangladeshi counterpart to attend the swearing-in ceremony of his government during a conversation over telephone. Sheikh Hasina accepted the invitation. Modi is likely to take oath on June 9 as the BJP-led NDA won 293 seats while the opposition INDIA bloc secured 234 seats in the 18th Lok Sabha elections. Earlier, the swearing-in ceremony was scheduled to be held on June 8. |
