JAMMU: Union Minister of State in the PMO Jitendra Singh today said that making any statement which demeans the sacrifice of the armed forces of the country was a cardinal sin which cannot be repented.
“Any direct or indirect comment or statement that demeans the sacrifice of our soldiers or insults their services is a sin, a cardinal sin which cannot be repented,” he said, reacting to Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad’s remarks drawing a comparison between the Uri terror attack casualties and the deaths after demonetisation.
Singh, who was in Kathua, said it was because of these brave soldiers that the people in the country were in a position to begin their day as per their wishes.
On the increase in the incidents of ceasefire violations from the Pakistani side in which several people have lost their lives, Singh said it was for the first time in past several years that Pakistan was getting a befitting reply.
He said the morale of the army and paramilitary forces was high which has boosted the morale of the entire country. (AGENCIES)
