Asif Nazrul, law adviser to Muhammed Yunus, "strongly protested" Prime Minister Narendra Modi's message, calling India just an ally in the victory.
"I strongly protest. December 16, 1971, was the day of Bangladesh's victory. India was an ally in this victory, nothing more," Asif Nazrul wrote on Facebook.
Is it wrong to call such 'jokers pretending as leaders - as the Shameless ? :::
Law adviser to Muhammed Yunus, "strongly protested" PM Modi's message
It is clear - absolutely clear - that Pakistan's 'peethuss (worse than chamchas) are in the ruling position in Bangladesh now.
Indian Sickular gang should strongly protest and give up their 'Muslim appeasement' policies. In fact, the onus is on Indian Muslim leaders to condemn such statements from those who are ruling Bangladesh today.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a statesman-like posting on X.
"Today, on Vijay Diwas, we pay heartfelt tributes to all the brave heroes who dutifully served India in 1971, ensuring a decisive victory.
Their valour and dedication remain a source of immense pride for the nation.
Their sacrifice and unwavering spirit will forever be etched in people's hearts and our nation's history. India salutes their courage and remembers their indomitable spirit," PM Modi posted.
Modi's post didn't have any mention of Bangladesh or Pakistan.

Another Bangladeshi leader called the 1971 battle as "Bangladesh's Liberation War".
Hasnat Abdullah, who had earlier called for banning Isckon and called for the hanging of jailed Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das Prabhu, also criticised PM Modi's congratulatory post on Vijay Diwas.
"This is Bangladesh's Liberation War.
The war was fought for Bangladesh's independence from Pakistan.
But Modi has claimed that it was solely India's war and achievement. In doing so, they've completely ignored the existence of Bangladesh," Abdullah posted on Facebook on Monday.
Abdullah was one of the coordinators of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement which ultimately led to the ouster of Sheikh Hasina.
(Modi did not mention Bangladesh or Pakistan)
"When India claims this independence as their own victory, I see it as a direct threat to the independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Bangladesh," he added. Hasnat Abdullah did not stop here, and declared the need for a continued fight against India.
"It is inevitable that we must continue our struggle against this threat from India. Our fight must go on," added Abdullah.
A leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), whose senior joint secretary general, Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, last week burned a Jaipuri bedsheet and called for boycotting Indian products, also joined Asif Nazrul and Hasnat Abdullah in condemning and protesting against Narendra Modi's post.
Ishraque Hossain, a member of the BNP's Foreign Relations Committee, called PM Modi's post "misleading". "I strongly condemn and protest against Narendra Modi's misleading statement on 16th December, Bangladesh's Victory Day.
Modi's words clearly undermine our liberation war, our sovereignty, our martyrs and our dignity. Such moves will not be helpful for bilateral relations between Bangladesh and India," BNP leader Hossain wrote on X.
There are times when some people (who were unheard of in politics) want to condemn a Stronger Personality in order to Gain Media Mileage. This desperate effort of Asif Nazrul appears to be same.
ReplyDeleteHe has forgotten what atrocities & indifferences have the Bangladeshi people faced as East Pakistanis by the West Pakistanis (the so called Fair People - Fair in Colour as well as Stature, leading to false sense of self-supremacy).
With attaining Victory in Indo-Pak War of 1971, India not only Liberated Bangladesh, but also ensured safety & security of its own borders.
