In a tweet, Afghanistan Vice-President Amrullah Saleh shared a famous photo of Pakistani General AAK Niazi surrendering to the Indian Army in the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.

Saleh in his official Twitter handle wrote, “We don’t have such a picture in our history and won’t ever have. Yes, yesterday I flinched for a fraction of a second as a rocket flew above & landed few meters away. Dear Pak twitter attackers, Taliban & terrorism won’t heal the trauma of this picture. Find other ways.,”.

Vice-President Amrullah Saleh is the most wanted leader of the Afganistan government and has been a thorn on the side of the Taliban and the Pakistani army for years. Also, he headed the Afghan intelligence agency National Directorate of Security (NDS) from 2004 to 2010.

The picture posted by Saleh is the most famous picture that was taken as one can see Pakistan Army Chief Gen Niazi who shares the same surname with Prime Minister Imran Khan Niazi sign the Instrument of Surrender with Indian Army’s Lieutenant General Jagjit Singh Aurora in Dhaka on 16 December 1971.
