00:12In the latest, Prime Minister also spoke with BNP Chief after the Bangladesh poll results were announced.
00:19This is the latest tweet by Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
00:22who also put out details of that particular call with Tariq Rahman,
00:27where the tweet reads, and I quote,
00:28Delighted to speak with Mr. Tariq Rahman, I congratulated him on the remarkable victory in the Bangladesh elections.
00:36I conveyed my best wishes and support in his endeavour to fulfil the aspirations of the people of Bangladesh.
00:44As two close neighbours with deep-rooted historical and cultural ties,
00:48I reaffirmed India's continued commitment to the peace, progress and prosperity of both our people.
00:57That's the latest tweet that has come in from Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
01:01where he reiterated on looking to better ties between India and Bangladesh.
01:09But most importantly, in this tweet, he mentioned how he spoke to Tariq Rahman.

01:17And in this tweet, he also mentioned that the support fully lies in the endeavour
01:26to fulfil the aspirations of the people of Bangladesh is the message he put forth
01:30to the new leadership in Bangladesh.
01:33Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in that tweet,
01:48So that's the message coming in from India,
01:50to certainly looking to better ties between India and Bangladesh,
01:54given the recent tensions that have been on the rise,
01:57and most importantly, particular issues that India is looking to address.
02:01But at the moment, congratulating the new leader of Bangladesh,
02:08Prime Minister Narendra Modi, confirming that he did have a call with Tariq Rahman
02:13to not just congratulate him on the remarkable victory,
02:16but where India stands as far as the latest development in Bangladesh is concerned.
02:25Shivani Sharma joining us live on the broadcast with further details of what the tweet reads
02:30and most importantly, Shivani, India's messaging over this latest development in Bangladesh
02:37and the victory of Tariq Rahman.
02:44See, Swesha, it holds a very strong meaning because India has always pushed
02:48for strong bilateral relationship with its neighbours and Bangladesh happens to be one of the nations
02:53with which India shares a mutual diplomatic tie, deep-rooted mutual ties
02:58and that's what Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also said in his post on X,
03:03where he said that he's delighted to talk to Tariq Rahman,
03:06who happens to be the leader of the biggest winning party, the BNP out there
03:10and most probably the next Prime Minister of Bangladesh.
03:12Certainly, Bangladesh has seen a lot of turmoil in the past few months
03:15after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted
03:18and India had been calling for peace, for mutual respect,
03:22for peaceful elections out there
03:25and now when the elections have been done,
03:27the new government will be formed out there
03:29and India has once again conveyed that it wants good relationship with its neighbours
03:33and Bangladesh happens to be one of the important neighbours
03:36where the ties matter to India.
03:39Swesha.
03:41Oh yes, absolutely.
03:42Shivani, I want to thank you at the moment for getting us the latest.
03:45We'll keep coming back to you for further updates.
