Dhaka, March 24 -- Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Tarique Rahman, on Wednesday extended his condolences on Genocide Day, which is observed on March 25 since 1971.

Rahman recounted how Pakistan killed Bangladeshis in the name of 'Operation Searchlight".

In a post on X, he said, "March 25, 1971, is observed as Genocide Day. On the occasion of Genocide Day, 1 pay my deepest respect to all the martyrs. In the history of freedom-loving Bangladesh, 25 March 1971 remains one of the most disgraceful and brutal days. On that dark night, the Pakistani occupation forces carried out one of the most heinous genocides in history against the unarmed people of Bangladesh in the name of 'Operation Searchlight"."
