Sylhet, Dec 17 (V7N) — Retired Brigadier General Dr. Sakhawat Hossain, Shipping Advisor, has remarked that while India may view the history of the Liberation War differently, the world recognises it as a victory for Bangladesh alone.

Dr. Sakhawat made these comments in response to a recent tweet by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Speaking at the Sylhet Marine Academy on Tuesday morning, he said, "Narendra Modi said it the way he did, but his comments have hurt the sentiments of the freedom fighters who are still alive."

The Shipping Advisor’s remarks came during the graduation parade of nautical and engineering cadets at the Sylhet Marine Academy grounds. He took the salute of the cadets, where 41 sea warriors who completed their courses at the Academy participated in the ceremonial event.

The parade highlighted the Academy's commitment to producing skilled maritime professionals and celebrated their achievements in the presence of distinguished guests.
