India celebrated its 75th Independence Day on Sunday, one day after its neighbor Pakistan. The two independent states, India and Pakistan, came into existence in August, 1947 as a result of the ending of the British India.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said August 14 would be commemorating the violence that broke out after the India-Pakistan partition in 1947. In Pakistan, the date is celebrated as the country's independence day.
Responding to the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tweet about the events of 1947, the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri has said that distorting history and stoking communalism is the special forte of the RSS-BJP regime.
