Richa Chadha took to her Twitter handle to react to the statement of Northern Army Commander Lt General Upendra Dwivedi that the Indian Army is ready to take Pakistan-occupied Kashmir back. The actor made a reference to Galwan.
Sharing a post on the statement, the actress wrote, 'Galwan says hi'. Reacting to the same, BJP's Manjinder Singh Sirsa tweeted, 'Disgraceful tweet. Should be withdrawn at the earliest. Insulting our armed forces is not justified.'
Soon Richa came under social media fire as people on Twitter slammed the actress for mocking the Indian Army and belittling the sacrifice of the jawans in the 2020 Galwan clash between India and China.
Northern Army Commander Lt General Upendra Dwivedi issued a statement on Tuesday in the context of Defense Minister Rajnath Singh's earlier assertion that India's goal is to reclaim the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. He said that they have just begun their journey of development in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. They will reportedly achieve thier goal when they reach Gilgit and Baltistan.
He also added that the military is always ready to make sure that the ceasefire understanding is never broken, as it is in the interests of both nations, but if broken at any time, we will give them a befitting reply.
