The President expressed confidence that “our flag shall always fly high because brave men like gentlemen cadets present here would preserve and protect its honour.”
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday reached Brar Square crematorium in Delhi Cantonment and paid tributes to Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat, who died in a military chopper crash on December 8.
Thakur stated that even enemies were afraid of Gen Rawat's name and several successful operations were conducted during his reign as CDS.
The Deputy Chairman said sentiments of the entire House were associated with the reference made by him. He proceeded with the Zero Hour speeches thereafter.
General Rawat had stressed for a relook at the syllabus that leads children into believing that they were not part of this country. The textbooks in schools of Kashmir have two maps, one of India and the other of J&K, which develops a sense of separate identity.
'I am fully confident that Indian Armed Forces will leave no stone unturned to safeguard our frontiers be it at land, air or ocean,' CDS Bipin Rawat said.
'China's People's Liberation Army was facing "unanticipated consequences" for its misadventure in Ladakh because of firm responses by Indian forces,' he said.
The meeting was attended by Chief of Defence Staff and Secretary Department of Military Affairs General Bipin Rawat, Chief of Army Staff General MM Naravane, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Karambir Singh and Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria.
A separate meeting was held earlier between the foreign secretary and the Prime Minister.
Both Singh and Esper “expressed confidence that through open communication and mutual support, the world can overcome the pandemic", the Defence Ministry said.
