Congratulations to FM Dr. Khalilur Rahman of Bangladesh on his election as President of the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly. @UN_PGA

Look forward to working closely with him to advance our shared priorities and strengthen multilateral cooperation.

[India in Bangladesh @ihcdhaka]

As the people of Bangladesh gather today in memory of one of their nation’s bravest sons - Shaheed President Zia-ur-Rahman, Bir Uttam - we recall his famous radio address of March 1971, which electrified the masses, inspired them on a path of resistance against oppression and led to national liberation.

Today, as then, India stands shoulder to shoulder with the people of Bangladesh in a saga of shared sacrifices and a common journey towards progress and prosperity of both our peoples.

আজ বাংলাদেশের জনগণ যখন জাতির অন্যতম শ্রেষ্ঠ সন্তান শহীদ রাষ্ট্রপতি জিয়াউর রহমান, বীর উত্তম-এর স্মরণে সমবেত হয়েছে, তখন আমরা ১৯৭১ সালের মার্চ মাসে তাঁর কণ্ঠে ধ্বনিত সেই বিখ্যাত বেতার ভাষণের কথা স্মরণ করছি, যা জনগণকে উদ্দীপ্ত করেছিল, নিপীড়নের বিরুদ্ধে প্রতিরোধের পথে তাঁদের অনুপ্রাণিত করেছিল এবং জাতীয় মুক্তির দিকে এগিয়ে নিয়ে গিয়েছিল।

আজও, তখনকার মতোই, ভারত বাংলাদেশের জনগণের সঙ্গে কাঁধে কাঁধ মিলিয়ে অভিন্ন আত্মত্যাগের এক গৌরবগাথা এবং উভয় দেশের জনগণের অগ্রগতি ও সমৃদ্ধির অভিন্ন যাত্রায় পাশে রয়েছে।

Record number of NRIs flew in from the UK, Scotland, Singapore and beyond.. just to cast their vote!

Domestic airfares into Tamilnadu surged sharply on polling day, nearly tripling, as travel demand spiked

On a Singapore–Trichy IndiGo flight, the pilot dropped the usual pleasantries and asked, “Who’s flying back just to vote?” Almost the entire cabin raised their hands 👇🏻
