Modi conveyed this when Bangladesh Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan called on him here.

The Prime Minister reiterated India’s commitment to support Bangladesh in fighting against terrorism, an official release said.

Khan briefed the Prime Minister on the situation in Bangladesh and thanked him for India’s support and solidarity.
