Modi greets Hasina on occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday called his Bangladesh counterpart Sheikh Hasina over phone and greeted her on the occasion of the holy Eid-ul-Fitr, the biggest religious festival of the Muslims.

“The Indian premier phoned the Bangladesh prime minister at about 5:45 pm and extended Eid-ul-Fitr greetings to her (Sheikh Hasina) and the people of Bangladesh,” state-run Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha news agency reports citing PM’s Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim as confirming.

During the five-minute telephonic conversation, he said, the Bangladesh prime minister also extended Eid greetings to Narendra Modi and the people of India.

The two premiers of the south Asian neighbors wished continued peace, progress and prosperity of the people of each other’s nations.
