Prime Minister Narendra Modi held discussions about the country's political developments with Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) chairperson Khaleda Zia here on Sunday.
The BNP delegation was headed by the party chief Zia with visiting PM Modi, reported The Daily Star.
BNP standing committee member Abdul Moeen Khan told journalists that "we have told the Indian Premier that development is not possible without democracy".
BNP standing committee members Tariqul Islam, Nazrul Islam Khan, Abdul Moeen Khan, BNP chairperson's advisors Sabihuddin Ahmed and Reaz Rahman were among those present during the meeting.
Zia had congratulated Modi last year even before the official results of the Indian national polls were out.
She had also thanked his government after the ratification of the Land Boundary Agreement with Bangladesh by the Indian Parliament.
