Cong. chief recalls the boldness, resilience of the former PM during Bangladesh Liberation War
The 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War was an example of perfectly executed political, diplomatic and military strategy that occupies a distinctive place in the history of the sub-continent and shaped geography under Indira Gandhi’s leadership, Congress president Sonia Gandhi said on Wednesday.
Ms. Sonia Gandhi made these observations while delivering the keynote address at an event organised by the Congress on the eve of the 50th anniversary of India’s victory over Pakistan in the 1971 war and the liberation of Bangladesh.
Recalling the boldness and resilience of the former Prime Minister, the Congress chief said, “ ... it will not be an exaggeration to say that 1971 was, in many ways, Indira Gandhi’s finest year — starting with the massive mandate she received in March.”
