Law Advisor Asif Nazrul has protested a Facebook post by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in which he referred to Bangladesh’s victory over Pakistan in 1971 as “India’s historic victory”.
On Monday, Nazrul shared a screenshot of Modi’s post on his verified Facebook account and wrote: “I strongly protest. Dec 16, 1971, was Bangladesh’s victory day. India was an ally in this victory, nothing more.”
Bangladesh is marking the 53rd anniversary of its emergence as an independent nation after ending two decades of Pakistani rule.
