According to the report, Prime Minister Hasina had come to India on a four-day visit, during which she met the then Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, Dr Singh, and other Congress leaders in New Delhi.

The report further stated that PM Hasina also had bilateral talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Upon looking further, we found similar images from the meeting published on Congress party's official Twitter handle on 6 October 2019.
