President Pranab Mukherjee on Friday extended his greetings to Bangladesh on its National Day (March 26).
In a message to Bangladesh President Abdul Hamid, Mukherjee said, "The bilateral relations between India and Bangladesh have grown tremendously over the past few years. I am confident that this relationship between our two countries will continue to expand and that our interaction and cooperation will scale new heights. "
On March 26, Bangladesh commemorates its declaration of independence from Pakistan made in the late hours of March 25, 1971 by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. That declaration saw a bruising nine - month conflict in the erstwhile East Pakistan and culminated in an India - Pakistan war and the emergence of Bangladesh as an independent nation.
