DHAKA: Bangladesh interim govt law adviser Asif Nazrul has “strongly protested” against a social media post by PM Narendra Modi on the country’s Victory Day.

“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,” Modi said. “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,”PM said.
