DHAKA: BNP's landslide win in the Feb 12 parliamentary elections set in motion the end of Muhammad Yunus's role as chief adviser.
PM Modi was invited to Tarique Rahman's swearing-in ceremony in Dhaka but could not attend as he had a bilateral with French President Emmanuel Macron in Mumbai, a meeting decided weeks in advance. "Your victory is a testimony to the trust and confidence reposed by the people of Bangladesh in your leadership and their mandate for your vision to take the country forward on the path of peace, stability and prosperity," Modi said as he invited the new PM, along with his wife Zubaida Rahman and his daughter Zaima, "on a visit to India at a mutually convenient time. A warm welcome awaits you in India."
