Bangladesh interim government’s Law Adviser Asif Nazrul has criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s post on X commemorating Victory Day saying, “India was merely an ally in this victory, nothing more.”

Victory Day or “Bijoy Dibosh” is commemorated every year on December 16 when the Pakistan military surrendered to Indian forces in 1971, bringing about the liberation of Bangladesh.

Mr. Nazrul’s comment was reposted by the office of Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus.

Attaching a screenshot of PM Modi’s post that paid tribute to Indian soldiers for their role in the historic victory in 1971, Mr. Nazrul wrote on Facebook in Bengali on Monday (December 17, 2024), “I strongly protest. December 16, 1971, marks Bangladesh’s Victory Day. India was merely an ally in this victory, nothing more.”

Mr. Yunus’ Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam shared Mr. Nazrul’s post, The Daily Star newspaper reported on Tuesday (December 17, 2024).

Anti-Discrimination Student Movement Convener Hasnat Abdullah also criticised PM Modi’s post.

Mr. Abdullah wrote on Facebook that this was Bangladesh’s Liberation War, and it was for the country’s independence against Pakistan. He said PM Modi has claimed it was solely India’s war and their achievement, disregarding Bangladesh’s existence in their narrative.

“When India claims this independence as their achievement, I see this as a threat to our independence, sovereignty and oneness. It’s necessary for us to fight against this threat by India. We need to carry on this fight,” he wrote.

PM Modi, in a post on X, had said, “Today, on Vijay Diwas, we honour the courage and sacrifices of the brave soldiers who contributed to India’s historic victory in 1971. Their selfless dedication and unwavering resolve safeguarded our nation and brought glory to us.

“This day is a tribute to their extraordinary valour and their unshakable spirit. Their sacrifices will forever inspire generations and remain deeply embedded in our nation’s history.”

Chief Adviser Yunus led Bangladesh Monday (December 16, 2024) in marking the 54th Victory Day, his speech making no mention of founding leader Mujibur Rahman while calling deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s administration the “world’s worst autocratic government”.

Rahman’s daughter Hasina was ousted from power on August 5 after massive student-led protests against her Awami League government.

There was also no mention of India’s role in Mr. Yunus’ address to the Nation on Bijoy Dibosh.

India commemorates December 16 as Vijay Diwas when over 90,000 Pakistani soldiers surrendered before the Indian Army, leading to the creation of Bangladesh.

India had also backed Bengali guerrillas in the fight against Pakistan Army after West Pakistan’s leadership refused to acknowledge the 1970 election victory of Mujibur Rahman’s Awami League.

President Droupadi Murmu and several Indian political leaders too had paid homage Monday (December 16, 2024) to the heroes of the 1971 war.

“A grateful nation remembers the ultimate sacrifice of our brave hearts whose stories inspire every Indian and shall remain a source of national pride,” President Murmu said on ‘X’.
