Tariq Rahman is being considered as the expected Prime Minister of Bangladesh.
In his statement after the telephone conversation, the Indian Prime Minister said, “I called Tariq Rahman and congratulated him on his resounding victory in the Bangladesh elections.”
Prime Minister Modi said that in the telephone conversation, he reiterated his commitment to peace, development and prosperity for the people of Bangladesh and India.
