Families of Indian soldiers demand explanation over causalities in Galwan
The letter raises the question of whether our troops entered enemy territory on their own
NEW DELHI (Dunya News) – The families of serving and retired personnel of the armed forces said in a letter to the Chief of the Defence Services that they wanted to know exactly what happened in the Galwan Valley.
In an open letter, the families said that the Indian soldiers were barbarically killed and their bodies were also mutilated, adding that we lost our troops in a haphazard manner.
They further asked the Indian Chief of the Defence Services why the bodies of soldiers were mutilated.
The letter demanded that they need to know how we could suffer so many casualties, including that of a Commanding Officer, if there were no intrusions by China.
The letter raises the question of whether our troops entered enemy territory on their own (as claimed by China) and got attacked in defence. It further stated that our soldiers are not cannon fodder, they cannot be butchered for diplomatic gains.
The further stated that your policies, directives and so ever evident step-motherly treatment to your very own is what concerns us more.
It added, for once please put a hand on your heart and reflect if you do justice to the responsibilities and privileges showered on you and if stand up for your brothers in arms.
“Did you not let the politicians make you the scapegoat and get some decisions made which invariably harmed the organisation,” the letter added.
