India has reiterated its support for Bangladesh's ongoing efforts to address the atrocities committed during the 1971 Liberation War. The statement came from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, during a weekly press briefing.
Jaiswal stated that India has always been a steadfast supporter of Bangladesh's quest for justice and reconciliation. The 1971 conflict, which led to Bangladesh's independence from Pakistan, involved widespread violence. Bangladesh has long sought international recognition for the events as genocide.
The MEA's comments align with India's historical position on the matter. The issue remains a significant part of Bangladesh's national narrative and its bilateral relations with Pakistan. India's reaffirmation underscores the continuing diplomatic importance of the 1971 war's legacy in South Asia.
