Can resolve all problems with Modi at helm in India: PM Sheikh Hasina
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said India and Bangladesh should fight together “terrorism and fundamentalist forces” that attack mutual trust between the two countries.
Modi said these things after bilateral talks with Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina, who made a strong pitch for early conclusion of the Teesta water sharing agreement.
PM Modi said, “Today we emphasized on partnership to fight against terrorism and radicalization. In line with the spirit of the year 1971, it is necessary that we fight together against such forces, who want to break trust in each other.
आज हमने आतंकवाद और कट्टरवाद के खिलाफ सहयोग पर भी जोर दिया।
