In her address , the prime minister of Bangla desh, Sheikh Hasina expressed her gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the people of India for supporting her country during its liberation war of 1971 and during ongoing the coronavirus pandemic. "The government of India was beside us during our good and bad times. This time, India handed over 109 ambulances for the people of Bangladesh. I extend my heartiest thanks to PM Modi, his government and the people of India. Before this, India had cooperated with us and gifted us vaccines for Covid,” Prime minister Hasina said. "India is not only our next-door neighbour, we have a historical, social, cultural heritage and geographical rapport. The people and government of India were immensely involved in the evolution process of Bangladesh during our liberation war in 1971," she said.“During those difficult times, India sheltered about 10 million people who fled from Bangladesh in the face of persecution by Pakistani soldiers, in the face of killing, genocide and rape. India gave them shelter, food and medication. They helped our freedom fighters with all types of cooperation," she said.
