Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Asif Nazrul strongly protested Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Facebook post on Victory Day.
The adviser made the protest in a post on his verified Facebook page on Monday.
Modi paid tribute to Indian soldiers for their role in 1971 saying, "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.”
In response to Modi’s post, Asif Nazrul wrote, "I strongly protest. December 16, 1971, was Bangladesh's Victory Day. India was only an ally in this victory, nothing more that.”
Anti-discrimination student movement convener Hasnat Abdullah also criticised Narendra Modi's post.
