Seven leaders from the neighbourhood and Indian Ocean region including Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and 8000 other guests from various professions are set to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reports said.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who was invited, among other leaders, by the Indian Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi, has already reached the Indian capital New Delhi today to attend the high-profile event to be held at Rashtrapati Bhaban tomorrow evening.

A special flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines carrying the prime minister and her entourage members landed at the Palam Air Force Station, the VVIP airport, in New Delhi 11:51 am (local time).

Modi is going to take oath as Prime Minister for the third consecutive term as the BJP-led NDA alliance secured the majority seats in the recently held Indian Lok Sabha election. He will be the first three-term Prime Minister since Congress stalwart Jawaharlal Nehru.বিস্তারিত
