DHAKA, 27 March, 2021 (TON): On Saturday, the Indian  PM Narendra Modi called Bangladesh a strong example of communal harmony, and assured commitment to deeply cooperate with Dhaka all the time.  

He made the remarks while addressing members of the Matua community in Gopalganj district following his visit to the Orakandi temple.

Over five crore Matua community people consider the Matua temple holiest.

"I'm blessed to come to this holy land of Orakandi. It is because of the blessings of Orakandi Thakur. When I first visited Bangladesh in 2015, I hoped that someday I will be able to come here. My wish has been fulfilled today.

"We are moving forward through the way directed by Harichand Thakur and his son GuruChand Thakur," the Prime Minister said.

Modi also met members of the Thakur family. He arrived in Tungipara aboard a helicopter after offering morning prayers at the Jeshoreshwari Kali temple in Satkhira district.

However, Modi is the first Indian head of state to visit Tungipara.
