Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi conveyed his condolences to BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman following the death of his mother, former Bangladeshi premier Begum Khaleda Zia. In a message shared by India's diplomatic mission, Modi stated he was deeply saddened, recalling a 2015 meeting with Zia and calling her a leader of strong conviction who made history as Bangladesh's first woman prime minister.

He acknowledged her role in national development and in fostering relations between India and Bangladesh, suggesting her political legacy would persist despite her passing. Modi expressed confidence that the Bangladesh Nationalist Party would advance her ideals under Tarique Rahman's leadership, potentially enriching bilateral ties further. He extended sympathy to the Bangladeshi people during their national mourning, praising their resilience and democratic traditions while hoping for continued progress toward peace and unity. The message concluded with prayers for strength for the bereaved family and best wishes for Rahman's future.
