Yeh hai India! Till he wields the gun, he had to be gunned down. Injured, he's just a helpless Indian youth. Indian Army honoured Pak soldiers' bodies in #Kargil & elsewhere.. Arif Hussain is our own, who may have lost his moral compass, but Indian armed forces certainly haven't

Army soldiers sacrifice their lives for you all. Can't we sacrifice a few minutes of our time for their security? What you reported is done because security forces convoys are actively targeted by terrorists. That's how Pulwama terror attack happened not far from where you were

Earlier this week I was in J&K, every time a security convoy passes on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway (which is throughout the day), vehicles on either side are stopped. Our car was stopped multiple times, abruptly. Clearly Kashmir is more normal than the others! Am sure…

Four yrs ago a 24 yr old army officer said to me, 'Sir I want to be with the boys' refusing to go home on sick leave. Within a week, I saluted his body in a casket. Capt Pawan, 2 others sacrificed their lives to save hostages in a 6 storey building on 21Feb16. Salute Bravehearts!

Syed Ali Shah Geelani quits! After 370, any semblance of his utility was over. ISI is not running a charity. History will not judge him kindly; he has different standards for his children & for other's children. What have they got for all the bloodshed?

Yesterday a cow delivered a tiny, cute calf in a vacant neighbouring plot. Was happy to help in feeding her & keeping stray dogs away. Happy to see the cow finally feed the calf this morning. Blessed is one who can assist someone in need

18th September is the darkest day of my life. On this day 7 years ago terrorists attacked our base at Uri & we lost 18 soldiers while I was the Corps Commander. We avenged their loss by bold surgical strikes in 10 days. My homage to the fallen heroes🙏 Jai Hind 🇮🇳

His killer killed! Remember Aurangzeb, the steely eyed JAKLI daredevil, kidnapped by terrorists last yr, tortured, videographed & killed. Nation remembers how coolly he spoke, looked into eyes of his killer; no grovelling, no cringing. Awarded Shaurya Chakra (P) Salute BRAVEHEART

Remembering Gen Bipin Rawat, the first CDS on his second death anniversary. He was a path breaker, a reformist and a good friend. You're dearly missed Sir.

A needless controversey is being created. The flame of Amar Jawan Jyoti is being merged with that of National War Memorial;it is not being extinguished. NWM is the designated war memorial at National level to pay homage all Indias Bravehearts, past present or future. Hear my take

#WATCH | The merger of Amar Jawan Jyoti with the National War Memorial is the right decision to make. There should be no controversy. National War Memorial has a national character: Lt General Satish Dua (Retd), former Chief of Integrated Defence Staff

AZADI? J&K flag being taken down is making news; it suddenly struck me that as ironic that during all these years, the protesters in Srinagar waived Pakistan flags, sometimes even black flags, but never a J&K flag. And the call has been for Azadi(?)🤔

As Diwali falls on Infantry Day, spare a thought to the infantryman, indeed to all soldiers who guard our borders. They are away from their families so that we can celebrate Diwali with ours in peace. Salute the Soldier's sacrifice in war & peace. HAPPY INFANTRY DAY WALI DIWALI💥

Army Dog 'Axel' makes the supreme sacrifice during an operation in J&K. Axel charged into the room where terrorist hid himself; he sadly got hit, but saved the lives of soldiers who'd have gone in. Terrorist was neutralised. RIP Axel 🙏 A General Salute. Jai Hind 🇮🇳
