It takes a lot of moral courage to make choices that you did. Hats off to you.

Proud of your service to the Nation Sir. As a Commanding Officer, the tough decisions that you took enabled successful completion of the mission. You also set a personal example by firing the gun yourself when Ammunition quality was suspect, knowing well that our Infantry depended on your fire support.

Rajiv Ganhiji was the architect in deciding to purchase Bofors Guns which was thwarted by BJP. Salaam to Rajiv Gandhiji for his true patriotism.

The Bofors scandal was in the Headlines for more than a decade. When they were put into use in Kargil for the first time they bombarded deep into pakisthan. The sound of Bofors guns in kargil still echoing in our ears.
