Jaiswal also slammed Pakistan for remaining in denial over atrocities during ‘Operation Searchlight’ in 1971, including the systematic killing of millions of Bangladeshis and widespread sexual violence, which forced millions to flee to India. “We are all aware of the atrocities committed during ‘Operation Searchlight’ in 1971. The genocide involved the systematic killing of millions of innocent Bangladeshis and mass sexual violence against women,” he said.
