Friendship between India and Bangladesh would not break under any pressure: Modi quotes Vajpayee in Dhaka
In his acceptance speech, after the conferment of the Bangladesh liberation war honour on former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Narendra Modi described Vajpayee as a far-sighted leader, who had said that history was being rewritten, as the blood of Indian soldiers flowed together with the Mukti Jodhas, for the liberation of Bangladesh.
The Prime Minister said that it would have been wonderful if Vajpayee had been present to receive this honour himself.He expressed hope that Vajpayee would soon become well, and guide everyone once again.
The Prime Minister said that though he had entered politics quite late, he had been one of the many youth activists who had come to Delhi in response to Vajpayee's call for Satyagraha for the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971. He described himself as one of the crores who wanted this vision to be realized.Support Our Journalism
