But ‘Being Indian First’ is the need of the hour ! ... In the prevailing ‘political environment’ we’re forced to bear with ! We need to put aside our color,creed,caste,region & religion if we want to move forward as civilised human beings INDIAN !!! I start First !!!Delete KANG

Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh, The golf ground may have been shut to deny you a farewell… but remember, this nation owes you its deepest gratitude and everlasting respect for the services you have rendered to India. We will remain forever indebted to you for your courage, leadership & distinguished service. Tomorrow, you hang up your boots. But not before scripting one of the finest chapters in the glorious tradition of the Indian Armed Forces. Operation Sindoor will be recounted for generations… and so will the story of how you led the Indian Air Force, sending a shiver down the spine of a rogue state and its handlers. Thank you, Marshal, for your service to the nation. Wishing you a wonderful and fulfilling life ahead. Jai Hind! #AirChiefMarshalAPSingh #AirChiefMarshal #IndianAirForce #IAF #OperationSindoor #IndianArmedForces #IndianMilitary #MilitaryLeadership #NationFirst #ProudIndian #SaluteOurHeroes #IndianDefenceForces #JaiHind

You won’t understand what courage looks like Mr Rijiju. At this age, he looks like a more nationalist than any of you. He is speaking up FOR the country (Mind you Modi and your party doesn’t mean India) Naseer Saab could have stayed quiet like many other spineless veteran actors who keep correcting their tweet numbers at a time when their country needed them to speak up. We have also lost respect for them. He is not just an amazing actor on screen but people like him are the real heroes.
I thought Naseeruddin Shah was just an ordinary actor. I used to respect & like him.. I never knew that he was a dangerous urban Dimagi Naxal ! मुझे उसके असली चरित्र के बारे में बहुत देर से पता चला।। भारत के लोकतंत्र के लिए अत्यंत हानिकारक है।

You are wasting your time PKC trying to reason with any bahakt . They know all this but willfully want to twist what is stated to gain traction . Specially , those followed by the PM -it’s a medal for them to display . Once that medal is acquired they go into a trance and becomes zombies. Best ignored .

Amazing logic/inference of an educated Bhakt ! First Look at his post. He infers that when I say “ Bhakt mukt Bharat” it means GENOCIDE OF BHAKTS 😄. It never occurred to him to ask Modiji whether he wants to commit genocide of @INCIndia members when he says “ Congress mukt Bharat”. Well this is my answer @JMehta65 ! 👇 The same way your party wants to eliminate @INCIndia from India. Coming to the point, you appear to be reasonably well educated to understand that elimination need not be by violence. For eg one can eliminate illiteracy by education rather than by eliminating the illiterate. One can eliminate poverty by working on economy rather than by purging the poor. By Bhakts I mean those people who fail to apply their mind and who follow their guru regardless. I want my country to be free from this mindlessness.
Colonel in your bio, you have expressed your wish to eliminate Bhakts from India.. You want to commit genocide of bhakts.. Can you elaborate how are you going to eliminate bhakts from India? @PrashantKishor your party's spokesperson wants to commit genocide of Bhakts from India. Are you in consonance with him?

NOT PAR FOR THE COURSE It is well known that the outgoing air chief is a rare example of somebody reaching a top spot with his backbone intact. He is likely to have put his foot down against the take over of the Air Force Golf Course during his tenure. Of course, the government need not listen to him. But to take over the golf course a couple of days before the end of his tenure, knowing fully well that his own golfing out was scheduled, is nothing but an attempt to "cut him to size", particularly given his popularity after Op Sindoor, and his general reputation as a man who does not mince words. The takeover could very well have happened in the early days of the next Chief. This episode could have been avoided. That it was not, shows how vindictive people in power can be.

If a chair like of Chief's can't be given respect ( I can't believe that this is done without intent) what can we expect for any other regular soldier. Pathetic Sad An act full of arrogance

My question is if India is a poor Nation why are the Elected and selected executives- the ministers, legislators, bureaucrats, Judges etc- NOT sharing that poverty with the rest of the Indians ? I’m sure there is sufficient scope to cut in their luxury and save Public money. The PM Residence is on 12 acres. Now they want to take this Air Force training ground to secure more area around PM’s house. Earlier they wanted Gymkhana club area but court stayed it. The Green areas in Delhi and around the country, the lungs of Delhi and the Nation, are green only because they are under Defense control. That said : How much land are we ready to give to these few individuals like PM, Ministers, Bureaucrats etc at the cost of many ? The PM’s 12 acres estate, the president’s 330 acres estate are in most posh Delhi. All the IAS and Ministers and Judges in Lutyens have 1 acres plus villas costing Rs 300 Crores plus. The Governors have estates in which a township can be built.

Karnataka SIR : Minister @ArshadRizwan says, "As soon as the SIR exercise started, and even before that across the country, Union Home Minister @AmitShah had claimed that there are infiltrators in the voter list, He was hinting at Bangladeshis in the voter list, and he said infiltrators are influencing Indian elections... @hd_kumaraswamy very clearly said that Bangladeshis are being supported before we started this exercise. I want to ask them because the EC has very clearly said that only less than 1,000 foreign nationals were identified... 771 foreign nationals were identified in this voter list. Out of these, 588 are Nepalese. The remaining 183 are Kannadigas who have taken US citizenship, European nation citizenship, and other citizenships. According to my information, not even three Bangladeshis were identified. You made 5 crore Kannadigas stand in the queue to identify three infiltrators or three Bangladeshis. This is just like how you made 100 crore Indians stand in queue during demonetisation and the note ban to identify black money. The EC has to come out clean and say how many infiltrators were identified, how many, particularly Bangladeshis or foreign nationals, were identified. This exercise was to put people through strain and tension, harass them, and make them stand in queues..."

Respected Col Mukul, Thank you for highlighting the reported discussion on troop strength. Operational matters concerning serving personnel are best assessed and addressed by the serving leadership and Service Headquarters, who have the latest ground and institutional perspective. As veterans, we have completed our service to the Nation. In my personal view, it is more appropriate for us to concentrate our efforts on the welfare of the Ex-Servicemen community, where our experience and continued involvement can make a direct difference. A clear example is the ongoing difficulties faced by a large number of Ex-Servicemen under the SPARSH system. Many are aged, less tech-savvy, and live in smaller towns and villages. Despite the #SPARSHFailsVeterans campaign running since February 25 and a Change.org petition launched on 18 September 26, the response has been limited. Change.org Petition Link: change.org/p/cgda-pcda-p-cor… We have a number of Ex-Servicemen organisations and associations, yet they often do not come forward to support each other’s key result areas or any initiative taken by members of the Ex-Servicemen community. Until we get united and help each other on the common causes that affect the majority of Ex-Servicemen, neither the Government nor our Service Headquarters and Chiefs are likely to give these issues the attention they deserve. It would be useful if senior veterans of the rank of Lieutenant General and above, who continue to command respect, could lend their voice and support more actively to such Ex-Servicemen welfare issues. A united and focused approach on veteran-specific matters is likely to be more effective. These are my personal views. I continue to respect the role and responsibilities of the serving leadership. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳 @Warrior_Mukul @adgpi @IAF_MCC @indiannavy @HQ_IDS_India @PMOIndia @DefenceMinIndia @SpokespersonMoD @Vedmalik1 @arunp2810 @UpendraAZ @kayjay34350 @Ptr6Vb @rakesharma15 @rwac48 @ColTekpal @RDXThinksThat @amitabhafirst @kkhushal9 @IndianExpress @thetribunechd @timesofindia @htTweets @BDUTT @dibang
Reduction of Troops in Indian Army: There is a whisper in the air that the Indian Army has been told to reduce 2 Lacs troops from the existing manpower within a period of next about one year. If this is true, I am afraid that 1962 is going to be repeated when the then Prime Minister tried to defend the Country through Civil Police and Assam Rifles etc against China. There is still time. Please wake up. 75% from the First batch of Agniverrs are due for release in January 2027. @PMOIndia @DefenceMinIndia @rajnathsingh @HQ_IDS_India @adgpi @SpokespersonMoD

Hello @ceo_karnataka @CEOBihar. Explain this. A BJP member and his wife still has two EPIC IDs. One each in Bihar and one each in Karnataka. Their names are still present even after Final SIR roll. I'd flagged by tagging you last year. But it's still there.

Shutting it down on the day the retiring Air Chief’s golfing out was scheduled is as open a snub as could be.
It’s been quite the scandal. Several Delhi WhatsApp groups are buzzing over the manner of the move. #AirForceClub

It’s one thing being a BJP bootlicker. But to refer to a person’s photos of meeting with a convicted pedophile as “ecosystem hit job” is a different level of SICK. Some of these anchors have no conscience. If CSA doesn’t shock you, you’re literally dead inside. This goes way beyond politics. This man is repulsive👇
