Bangladesh wants UN to declare March 25 as 'Genocide Day'
Bangladesh on Thursday said it would reach out to the UN to declare March 25 as 'Genocide Day' globally, in remembrance of the atrocities carried out by Pakistan Army on the same day in 1971. Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Huq said that December 9, which is currently observed as International Genocide Day, does not bear any historical significance.
