New Delhi, Aug 6 (UNI) The Narendra Modi government on Tuesday called an all-party meeting at Parliament House to discuss the political developments in Bangladesh that have led to the ouster and exile of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar briefed the meeting about the prevailing situation in Bangladesh and India’s stand on the unfolding situation in Bangladesh.
In a post on X, he also shared photographs of the meeting at Parliament House.
