Guwahati, March 10 (IANS): Bangladesh President Md. Abdul Hamid on Saturday wound up his visit to India’s northeast on a nostalgic note.
In his departing remarks, Hamid said the three-day visit to Assam and Meghalaya was very nostalgic for him as he came to this part of the northeast during the Bangladesh Liberation War.

During the visit, Hamid was accompanied by his wife Rashida Khanam and other family members apart from the official delegation.
He left for New Delhi from the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport here on Saturday afternoon.
