Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh visited the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi on Thursday, January 1, to express condolences over the death of former Bangladeshi Prime Minister and BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia. During his visit, he signed the condolence book and met with officials at the mission. In a post on X, Singh said he conveyed deep sorrow over Zia’s passing and extended sympathy to her family and the people of Bangladesh.
A day earlier, Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar had traveled to Dhaka to attend Zia’s funeral and pay respects. During that visit, he met Tarique Rahman and handed him a condolence message from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The gestures from both Indian ministers followed recent tensions surrounding the Bangladesh High Commission in Delhi.
In late December, protests organized by Hindu nationalist groups took place outside the mission, with some demonstrators shouting threatening slogans. Analysts view Singh’s visit as a significant diplomatic signal aimed at easing strains and maintaining normal bilateral relations between India and Bangladesh.
