PM Modi Receives Official Invite To Tarique Rahman’s Oath-Taking Event
PM Modi has been officially invited to Tarique Rahman’s oath-taking ceremony on February 17.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has received an invitation to attend the oath-taking ceremony of former Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) leader Tarique Rahman, scheduled for February 17. The invitation highlights ongoing diplomatic engagement between India and Bangladesh at a political and ceremonial level.
According to sources, the ceremony will formalize Rahman’s assumption of office in a leadership capacity within the BNP, amid renewed attention on Bangladesh’s political developments. Indian officials said the invitation reflects longstanding diplomatic courtesy extended between neighboring countries.
While it is not immediately clear whether the Prime Minister will attend, sources noted that India maintains a neutral stance toward internal party affairs in Bangladesh, focusing instead on bilateral cooperation and regional stability. Invitations to such ceremonies are often seen as symbolic gestures, strengthening ties without implying political endorsement.

Analysts observe that Tarique Rahman’s political profile has been closely monitored in India due to his influence in Bangladeshi politics and the implications for cross-border relations. Engagement through ceremonial channels can serve as an avenue for soft diplomacy and dialogue on shared interests, including trade, security, and regional cooperation.
The timing of the oath ceremony coincides with other diplomatic interactions between the two countries, reinforcing India’s approach of balancing cordial relations while respecting Bangladesh’s internal political processes. Observers note that attendance at such events is often carefully considered to avoid domestic or international political sensitivities.
As the February 17 ceremony approaches, attention will remain on the diplomatic messaging and participation from foreign leaders. While India’s response is expected to reflect a focus on regional partnership, analysts suggest that the invitation underscores the importance of maintaining open channels of communication with key political figures in neighboring Bangladesh.
