Asif Nazrul, Law Advisor to the Interim Government of Bangladesh, has expressed strong opposition to a social media post of PM Narendra Modi on the country’s Victory Day. I strongly object. Asif Nazrul attached a screenshot of Modi’s Facebook post on his verified Facebook page and wrote, 16 December 1971 was the Victory Day of Bangladesh. India was an ally in this victory, nothing more than that.
The friendship of the enemy and the indifference of the friend both change according to the need. India celebrates 16 December as Vijay Diwas every year. This day is historic not only for India but also for Bangladesh. On this day in 1971, 93 thousand soldiers of Pakistan were forced to surrender. This was the biggest surrender after the Second World War. But this time’s Vijay Diwas is in the news because this time India sent an invitation to Bangladesh to participate in the Vijay Diwas celebrations. PM Modi made a post on X regarding the 1971 war. He honored the sacrifice of the soldiers who lost their lives in the war and described their contribution as important in India’s victory.

The PM said that today, on Vijay Diwas, we honor the courage and sacrifice of those brave soldiers who contributed to India’s historic victory in 1971. His selfless dedication and unwavering determination saved our country and brought us glory. Modi said that this day is a tribute to their extraordinary bravery and their steadfast spirit. His sacrifice will always inspire generations and will be deeply engraved in the history of our country.
