New Delhi: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Friday paid tributes to those who lost their lives in the service of the nation on the occasion of Vijay Diwas. "On Vijay Diwas, I join the nation in remembering the bravery and sacrifice of our armed forces, who led to our triumph in the 1971 war. I pay my tributes to the martyrs, who lost their lives in the service of our nation. #VijayDiwas2022," tweeted the Vice President.
Fifty years ago, the day marked the largest military surrender after the Second World War, as 93,000 soldiers of the Pakistan Army laid down their arms before the Indian forces -- resulting in the liberation of Bangladesh, formerly East Pakistan.
