And today we are very happy that in the last 50 years Bangladesh has progressed rapidly on the path of development, which is an inspiration to the rest of the world. “Today we are all here at India Gate in the ‘Golden Victory Year’ of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Have gathered to celebrate ‘Vijay Parv’ organized under The festival celebrates the spectacular victory of the Indian armies, which changed both the history and geography of South Asia.
It was decided to organize this event in a grand manner, but after the untimely demise of the country’s first CDS General Bipin Rawat, it has been decided to celebrate it with simplicity. On this occasion, I also remember him and pay my respects.”
“On this day, I salute the valor, valor and sacrifice of every soldier of the Indian Army, due to which India won the war of 1971. This country will always be indebted to the sacrifice of all those bravehearts.”
“Sometimes I wonder, what was the fault of our Bengali sisters and brothers? To claim your rights? Want to preserve your art, culture and language? To talk about their proper representation in politics and governance?” They said.
