New Delhi, Apr 10: Praising Bangladesh government's strict action against terrorism and militancy, Congress President Sonia Gandhi has assured Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of taking a common stand in terms of relations with the nation.
Sonia also lauded the Bangladesh PM for the socio-economic development under her leadership.
While Hasina spoke about the steps the Bangladesh government has taken to deal with militancy and terrorism, Sonia was quoted by bdnews24.com as saying, "The menaces should be contained with an iron fist."
This comes after PM Narenda Modi praised the Sheikh Hasina government's anti-terror policies saying, "Bangladesh's zero tolerance policy towards terrorism is an inspiration."
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh also met Hasina at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
India and Bangladesh on Saturday signed 22 pacts in various sectors. Before making this announcement in New Delhi on Saturday, Modi held 'productive' talks with his counterpart from Bangladesh.
Hasina is on a four-day visit to India and also visited the Ajmer Dargah on Sunday.
