No support to anti-liberation forces: Acting Indian envoy
India will never give support to the anti-liberation forces in Bangladesh, said acting Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Sandeep Chakravorty yesterday.
He conveyed this as a decision of the Indian government's highest levels in support of the liberation war spirit of Bangladeshis.
The Indian envoy was addressing a discussion organised by the ruling Awami League (AL) at Suhrawardi Udyan in the capital.
He said, “We had commitment for the independence of Bangladesh and we have commitment that Bangladesh will emerge as a developed country."
India highly appreciated Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's move to honour those Indian people who had helped Bangladesh during its Liberation War in 1971, he added.
Addressing the discussion, Home Minister Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir said the government will take strong action against those who will resort to vandalism or bomb blasts in the name of hartal today.
He also urged all to remain united against the anti-liberation forces and the BNP-led 18-party alliance which, what he said, might try to foil the ongoing war crimes trial.
Former Bangladeshi home minister Mohammad Nasim chaired the discussion while Russian Ambassador to Bangladesh Alexander A Nikolaeb also addressed it.
