PM Narendra Modi
Dhaka:
India and Bangladesh are not just "pass pass" (close to each other) but also "saath saath" (together), Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in Dhaka on Sunday.
"But if in one sentence I am to describe the ties, people will think that we are 'pass pass' but now the world will have to accept that we are not just 'pass pass' but 'saath saath'," he added.
He said his two-day visit has ended, but "I feel that actually the yatra (in ties) has just begun".
"I have an emotional attachment with Bangladesh," he added.
