Every year, a special event is organized at Fort William in Kolkata to commemorate the history of that day. A delegation of Bangladeshi freedom fighters attended the event. Many people from Dhaka are present. Prominent figures from the Bangladeshi diplomatic corps in Kolkata are invited.
The day of the surrender of the Pakistan Army at the end of the Liberation War is still organized with great pomp at Fort William in Kolkata. Army officers and above all, the real heroes of the war, the freedom fighters, are invited. However, with the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government this year, many people feel that there has been some change in the equation between Bangladesh and India. A meeting at the level of foreign secretary has already been held. However, this time there will be no interaction at the Victory Day celebrations.
