Meanwhile, newly-appointed Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Vikram Doraiswami, today paid tribute to Liberation War heroes at National Mausoleum in Savar, a day after he presented credentials to President Md Abdul Hamid.
Doraiswami placed a floral wreath at the monument and signed the visitors' book at the National Mausoleum.
He said he was honored by the presence of Liberation War veteran Lt Col (Retd) Qazi Sajjad Ali Zahid, Bir Protik and Swadhinata Padak Awardee during his visit to the National Mausoleum.
"With it, we appreciate your world-famous spirit of warmth and hospitality. Today, no matter whether it is the economic success forged under the statesmanship of H.E. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, or the never-say-die spirit of the Tigers on the cricket pitch, the world sees Bangladesh with new respect.
"And we, as your closest neighbours, rejoice in this well-deserved recognition."
