Stage used for signing surrender of Pak commander during Bangladesh 1971 war kept in museum for display
The National Museum has preserved the historic makeshift stage consisting of a table and two chairs used by Pakistan's last military commander AAK Niazi to sign the surrender document on December 16, 1971, and has kept it for display as a liberation war relic, PTI reported. Being the first-ever surrendering ceremony done in public, it was unknown how the stage was set until in 2012, when an Indian war veteran named Brigarider General Sant Singh revealed to Bangladesh's officials Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) news agency, that he was the man who arranged the historic ceremony.
