Bangladesh criticise Modi for ignoring Bangladesh on Vijay Diwas

Deccan Chronicle  

Bangladeshi politicians on Monday criticised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for failing to mention Bangladesh in his social media post on Vijay Diwas. The omission has sparked anger across political circles in Bangladesh, with leaders accusing Modi of undermining their country's sovereignty and independence struggle. India was an ally, nothing more.” Hasnat Abdullah of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement echoed this sentiment, accusing Modi of distorting history: “The war was for Bangladesh's independence, but Modi’s post makes it seem solely India’s achievement, erasing Bangladesh's role.” Ishraque Hossain of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party went further, condemning Modi's remarks as disrespectful to the country’s liberation war: “Modi’s words clearly undermine our war, martyrs, and sovereignty. India has repeatedly raised concerns with the Muhammad Yunus-led caretaker administration over attacks on Bangladesh's Hindu minority, which intensified following the collapse of Sheikh Hasina’s government in August after months of student protests.
