Veterans in Jaisalmer Ready to Defend Nation
The veterans' move is seen as a significant boost to national security efforts, with their experience and discipline set to contribute meaningfully to the defense of the nation. The ex-servicemen's demand for support for freedom voices in Pakistan and their close relationship with Sindh highlight the complex dynamics at play in the region.
Veterans from Jammu and Kashmir and Jaisalmer have offered to rejoin the armed forces to defend the nation, following the deadly attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 civilians, as tensions escalate with Pakistan and ceasefire violations continue along the Line of Control.
The veterans, who have a storied history of service, including in the 1965 and 1971 wars, the 1999 Kargil conflict, and overseas operations in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, are eager to serve again. They have expressed confidence that their experience, discipline, and sense of duty would contribute meaningfully to national security efforts. Ex-servicemen in Jaisalmer, who fought or witnessed the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak wars, are ready to take charge at the front despite being in their prime.
Retired Captains Amar Singh Bhati and Amb Singh demand support for freedom voices in Pakistan, specifically for Balochistan, Sindh, Khyber, and Punjab to become independent nations. They claim villages in Jaisalmer are at the forefront of defense, with residents ready to respond to any attack and hoist the Tricolor. The ex-servicemen have a close relationship with Sindh in Pakistan, with Captain Singh demanding its separation from Pakistan and merger with India.
The move has been viewed as a morale booster, highlighting the unwavering spirit of India's armed forces. Hundreds of youth in Jaisalmer are eager to join the army, awaiting government orders to protect the country's borders as a second line of defense. The veterans' offer to rejoin the armed forces is a testament to their dedication to national security and their willingness to serve the nation once again.
