Army HQ clarifies army chief's statement over martyred Indian soldiers
the release said the army chief is well aware that there is no link of martyred Indian soldiers with March 25 and March 26
The army headquarters on Saturday termed false and fabricated some media reports and an editorial that the army chief during his India visit had stated that Bangladesh would show respects to the martyred Indian soldiers of 1971 on March 25 every year.
'As a matter of fact, during his India visit, the army chief didn't make any such statement formally or informally,' said an ISPR release.
It said that at different meetings during the visit, apart from the entourage of the army chief, the Bangladesh high commissioner to India was present.
'During the meeting of the two army chiefs, the Bangladesh army chief of staff recalled with respect India's cooperation and sacrifice during the country war of independence and expressed his gratitude,' the release said.
Referring to the reports published by Indian English daily The Hindu on February 26 and Bangladesh Today on February 27 and Sadeq Khan's editorial published in Daily Nayadiganta on March 7, the release said the army chief is well aware that there is no link of martyred Indian soldiers with March 25 and March 26. 'Therefore, such commitment is completely absurd,' it said.
It further noted that there was no journalist present at the army chief's meetings and exchange of opinions during the tour. So, there was no scope for collecting such information.
The ISPR said this is fabricated and false information, which was published with a motive. 'The army chief has never made such statement,' it said, adding that the army chief is completely aware of his jurisdiction and terms of reference.
