WATCH: "Do Your Politics But Don't Insult Indian Army And Martyrs", Union Minister Rajyavardhan Rathore Slams Rahul Gandhi


Union MoS Youth Affairs and Sports Rajyavardhan Rathore on Monday lashed out at Congress president Rahul Gandhi for insulting the Indian Army and martyrs during his press briefing in New Delhi. The BJP leader took to social media and posted a video message in which he slammed Rahul Gandhi as he showed a clip of Congress president's press briefing in which he made an insensitive remark against the Indian Army. 

In the video, Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Rathore said, "during your press conference in Delhi, you have insulted our soldiers saying, 'This Rs 30,000 crores could have been given to you(pilots) when you die in a plane crash'. Every Indian knows how to respect the soldiers and martyrs. And you must know the difference between mercenaries and soldiers."

He later displayed the meaning of 'Mercenary' taking a dig at the Congress president, saying that a mercenary is 'a soldier who is hired to serve in a foreign army'.

Later, Rathore urged Rahul Gandhi to not insult the soldiers during his political discourse, adding that the Indian soldiers fight for the nation and not for the 'money'

"Our soldier fight for our country 'India' and not for a foreign nation. They do not fight for money. They fight for self-respect and for the security and respect for the nation. You(Rahul Gandhi) do your politics, but don't insult the Army and martyrs in your politics. Can I expect this much from you?

On February 8, Rahul Gandhi addressed a press conference on the much-talked-about Rafale deal where he said that, "In the Rafale deal, Rs 30,000 crore were given to Anil Ambani's Reliance Defence. This money could have been given to those (pilots) who die in plane crash. This Rs 30,000 crore could be given to your families.

He cited a newspaper report which suggested that the PMO had held parallel talks with the French government relating to pricing, something which was objected by the Ministry of Defence. But Republic TV accessed the full letter cited in the report written by the MoD in 2015, which exposed the half-truth shown by the newspaper and also exposed the lies of Rahul Gandhi.

A look at the Army Aviation Corps’ history and its relevance in modern day battlefields, including in Counter Insurgency and Counter Terrorism (CI-CT) operations. Representative Image The Army Aviation Corps (AAC), the youngest Corps of the Indian Army, celebrated its 35th Corps Day on November 1. We take a look at the arm that adds an air dimension to the Army’s capabilities, its history, and its relevance in modern day battlefields, including Counter Insurgency and Counter Terrorism (CI-CT) operations. The roots of Army Aviation Corps The origin of the AAC can be traced back to the raising of the Army Aviation wing of the Royal Air Force in India in 1942, and the subsequent formation of the first Indian Air Observation Post in August 1947.

That time when India took half of Pakistan to make it pay for a motorcycle

In 1947, British officer Yahya Khan offered his colleague 1,000 rupees for his spiffy red motorcycle. His colleague, Sam Manekshaw, agreed. But before Khan could pay, he was off to what was going to become Pakistan. The British split its Indian colony, and things on the subcontinent have been pretty tense ever since. To top it all off, Yahya Khan didn't pay for the motorbike. But he would, even if it took almost 25 years. The Partition of India was much more than the splitting of the British Raj into two independent states. It was a catastrophic split that tore apart the country and created millions of refugees, cost millions of lives, and split the armed forces of the country in two, all based on religion. Violence erupted almost immediately between the two groups on such a large scale that much of it has never been forgotten or forgiven. Animosity continued between both sides for decades, and the two have fought war after war because of the myriad issues left unaddressed. By 1970...
