Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is on two day visit to Bangladesh has said that he went to jail while protesting for Bangladesh’s liberation. “I was about 20-22 years old when along with some friends I had protested in favour of Bangladesh during its struggle. I even went to jail. Pakistan’s atrocities in Bangladesh are well known…the pictures didn’t allow me to sleep,” PM Modi said.
PM Modi also paid his respects to the Indian Army who fought for the freedom for Bangladesh. “They played a huge role in Bangladesh’s freedom struggle,” he said.
PM Modi also paid his respects to Bangladesh’s Father of the Nation, ‘Bangabandhu’ Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Incidentally, it is his birth centenary. “I pay my respects to Bangabandhu. He gave his life for the people of Bangladesh,” he said. “Bangabandhu Mujibur Rehman was a ray of hope. He made sure that no country could enslave Bangladesh. The efforts of PM Indira Gandhi in 1971 are also well known,” he added.
