Dhaka, March 27: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday paid tributes to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Bangabandhu Mausoleum Complex at Tungipara in presence of Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina. PM Modi is on a two day visit to Bangladesh celebrating the golden jubilee of Bangladesh's independence, the birth centenary of ‘Bangabandhu’ Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and hold talks with his counterpart Sheikh Hasina.
Earlier an hour, the Prime Minister offered prayers at Jeshoreshwari Kali Temple in Ishwaripur, Satkhira district. He placed a handmade 'mukut' on goddess Kaali idol. The 'mukut' is made of silver with gold plating and was hand-made over three weeks by a traditional artisan.
"Today, I got the opportunity to offer prayers before Maa Kali. I prayed to her to free the human race from COVID19. It should be useful even for social, religious & educational events. Most importantly, it should act as a shelter for all at the time of disasters like cyclone. GoI will do construction work. I express gratitude to Bangladesh Govt that they have wished us well for this", said PM Modi at Jeshoreshwari Kali Temple.
"When Maa Kaali mela is held here, large devotees come from across border (India) & here. A community hall is needed which should be multi-purpose so that when people come here during Kaali puja, it is useful to them too", he added. Modi, who is visiting Bangladesh on his first trip to a foreign country since the outbreak of the coronavirus, was received by the country's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport upon his arrival. A salute of 19 guns and a Guard of honour were accorded to Prime Minister Modi at the airport.
