Bangladesh stands by India; slams Pakistan for statement that India interfered during 1971 crisis
NEW DELHI: Bangladesh on Wednesday came out strongly in India's support, slamming Pakistan for its statement that India interfered during the 1971 political crisis in East Pakistan.
The assertion came a day after Pakistan's foreign ministry issued a statement referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks during his Dhaka trip that India had supported Bangladesh's freedom movement. The ministry criticised Modi's "acknowledgement" of India's "involvement" in the 1971 war and said his statement confirmed India's negative role in the affairs of a sovereign neighbouring state.
