On the occasion of Bangladesh Liberation Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today paid tributes to the armed forces for their valour and sacrifice in the 1971 war with Pakistan.
"Vijay Diwas is a fitting reminder of the valour & sacrifice of all those who fought courageously in the 1971 war. Tributes to them," he said.
On this day in 1971, Pakistan's army had surrendered before the joint forces of 'Mukti Bahini' of Bangladesh and Indian soldiers who fought side by side for the liberation of 750 million people of Bangladesh at that time.
