The India Youth Congress also shared another post on X with some sentimental pictures of Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi hugging the Bangladeshi PM underscoring the profound connection between Congress and Sheikh Hasina.
"The profound connection that has blossomed over the years is beautifully represented in these heartfelt moments between the Gandhi Family and Sheikh Hasina," the India Youth Congress said on X.
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Sheikh Hasina's father and the founding leader of Bangladesh had a cordial relationship with Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister of India.
Indira Gandhi played a significant role during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, supporting Bangladesh's independence from Pakistan.
India also gave shelter to Sheikh Hasina at that time when she was going through one of the most difficult stages of her life following the assassination of her father, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rehman.
