India Won 1971 War With Pak Because It Was United Then, Today BJP Dividing The Nation, Says Rahul Gandhi
Mumbai: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi hit out at the Narendra Modi-led BJP government for dividing and weakening the country and said India should learn from the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.
Addressing a rally in Dehradun, the Wayanad MP said that Pakistan bowed its head in the 1971 war within 13 days as India was united.
“Generally, a war is fought for 6 months, 1-2 years. America took 20 years to defeat Afghanistan but India made Pakistan lose in 13 days only as India was united and was standing as one,” he said.
He also slammed the Centre for not mentioning Indira Gandhi at a government function held today to commemorate Vijay Diwas.
“Today a function was held in Delhi regarding the Bangladesh war. There was no mention of Indira Gandhi in that function. The woman who took 32 bullets for this country, her name was not there in the invitation because this government is afraid of the truth,” he said.
The year 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Bangladesh and India is hosting a number of events to mark the 50th anniversary of the war.
