PM Hasina pays tribute to India’s Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday morning paid tribute to India’s Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi.

Sheikh Hasina paid homage by placing a wreath at the altar of the Samadhi (memorial) of Mahatma Gandhi, the preeminent leader of the Indian independence and civil right movements, in Delhi’s Rajghat.

She stood in solemn silence for some time as a mark of profound respect to the memory of Mahatma Gandhi.

Sheikh Hasina then signed the visitors’ book there.

Rajghat is a memorial on the bank of the Yamuna River, dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi. It is a black marble platform that marks the spot of Mahatma Gandhi’s cremation.

The prime minister is scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Hyderabad House later today.

Sheikh Hasina arrived in New Delhi on Monday on a four-day official visit at the invitation of her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.
