A Bangladesh delegation is expected to attend the Vijay Diwas celebrations in Kolkata on December 16, 2024. The event commemorates India’s victory over Pakistan in the 1971 war and the formation of Bangladesh. The delegation might include muktijoddhas, Bangladesh’s freedom fighters from the 1971 struggle. This follows recent high-level talks between Indian and Bangladeshi officials. The celebrations at Eastern Command headquarters will feature a wreath-laying ceremony, military tattoo, and interactions with 1971 war veterans. Last year, a similar delegation participated in the event, marking a historic military collaboration between the two nations.
