Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will leave Dhaka for New Delhi on
Friday 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
4pm tomorrow and will return home at noon on June 9 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 8 as the BJP-led NDA scraped past the majority mark to win
293 seats in the 18th Lok Sabha elections while the opposition INDIA bloc,
secured 234 seats.
