Prime Minister Modi commends Bangladesh while censures Pakistan for attempting to destabilize region with violence

New Delhi, April 8: While lavishing commendation on Bangladesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday condemned another neighbor Pakistan in an oblique way, articulating it favors "backstabbing over trust" and that its "thought" is an obstruction to tranquility in the expanse.

He made the remarks as Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina showered praises on Indian heroes of the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War against Pakistan and remembered their sacrifices at an exclusive occasion In New Delhi.

He disclosed doors of India were at all times unbolted for collaboration, but for that violence has to be rejected, an obvious allusion to Pakistan.

Concerning his well-known catchphrase Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas (everybodys collaboration, everybodys progress), Modi said it is not simply limited to India but likewise to the adjacent nations as progress of India is partial without the development of the expanse.

"We have extended a hand of friendship towards every country (of the region) and have invited them to be a part of our growth. Without being selfish, we have wished good for the entire region," stated the Prime Minister who had requested frontrunners of all the SAARC nations to join his swearing-in ceremony in 2014.

"We truly think that citizens of all nations of the region progress and prosper. Our doors are open for cooperation, but for this terrorism has to be shunned," he stated.

Without mentioning Pakistan but clearly alluding to it, Modi said, "There is one thought in South Asia which breeds, inspires and encourages terrorism. The thought whose priority is not humanity, but extremism and terrorism."

India is a prey of that "thought" which emboldens violence, he revealed.

"The thought, whose policymakers prefer terrorism over humanity, destruction over development, destruction over creation, backstabbing over trust, is the biggest challenge to the society and its economic development," he stated.

Observing that 1,661 Indian soldiers had sacrificed their lives in the Bangladesh Liberation War, Modi disclosed the fight of the Indian army in this cannot be overlooked.

Prior to the function, Modi and Hasina converged and postured for photographs with Major Ashok Tara of 14 Guards who had saved the family of Bangladesh creator Sheikh Mujibur Rahman from a house in Dhanmandi where they had been detained by the Pakistani soldiers in 1971.

Rahman was the father of Sheikh Hasina.

"The Indian army never shied away from its duty and set an example by following conventions of the war. Over 90,000 Prisoners of War were released safely after the 1971 war. The humane gesture shown by India is one of the biggest events in the century," Modi revealed.

The Prime Minister said the slaughter by Pakistan in 1971 was commenced to annihilate a complete generation of Bangladesh and each person who was pleased with the notion of Bangladesh was removed.

"The purpose of this genocide was not just killing the innocents, but to uproot the idea of Bangladesh," he asserted.

Communicating at the occasion, Hasina stated, the past of Bangladesh has been engraved with the blood of Indian supporters together with brave freedom fighters of Bangladesh.


"They fought together for the independence of Bangladesh. The story of their sacrifice will be remembered from generation to generation in our two countries," she asserted.
