Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has extended warm greetings to Prime Minister Tarique Rahman and the people of Bangladesh on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.

“On behalf of the people and the Government of India, I extend warm greetings to you and the brotherly people of the People's Republic of Bangladesh on the joyous occasion of the festival of Eid ul Fitr,” he said in a message to Prime Minister Tarique Rahman.

Over the past one month, Muslims in India as well as across the world have observed the holy month of Ramadan and spent pious time in fasting and prayer, said Modi.

He said the celebration of Eid reminds them of the timeless values of compassion, brotherhood and togetherness.

“We hope and pray for peace, harmony, good health and happiness for people across the world. May the bonds of friendship and camaraderie among our countries grow stronger,” said the Indian prime minister.
