00:00in the difficult areas of the country and the Prime Minister is there, the Defence Minister is there

00:05and because the political heads are there, it automatically means that the nation is with the Defence Forces

00:12and that I think is good for morale for everybody.

00:17The Armed Forces Veterans Day is being celebrated.

00:20The PM himself tweeted about the Armed Forces Veterans,

00:24men and women who have sacrificed and praised them

00:27and said that the government has done a lot for the Armed Forces Veterans

00:32and will continue to do so for their welfare.

00:35Look, the Veterans Day started for the first time in 2017

00:38and I think it is very important to celebrate these kinds of things.

00:46Firstly, for the morale of the Army

00:49and secondly, for the morale of the country

00:51because it connects with the Defence Forces of our Indians

00:56and this connection has been very strong in India

00:59because if you see, as far as the Indian public is concerned,

01:04from the beginning till today, their support is with our Defence Forces,

01:09with the Army, Air Force and Navy.

01:11They have always supported us.

01:13So, now that the Veterans Day has been celebrated,

01:16because people like us who have retired,

01:19that connection remains with our Army.

01:24So, on Veterans Day, one more thing happens

01:27that the serving soldiers meet the veterans again.

01:31Although we don't meet every day,

01:33but a day has been made that it is Veterans Day.

01:36So, we celebrate it as if it is someone's birthday.

01:39So, this has also become such a day.

01:41It started when, first of all, we took January 15

01:46because it is Army Day.

01:48So, Army Day is celebrated because

01:50on this day, for the first time in 1949,

01:55the command of the Indian Army

01:58was handed over to the British Commanding Officer-in-Chief, General Butcher,

02:06to General Kariyappa,

02:09later on Field Marshal Kariyappa,

02:10that time he was General Kariyappa.

02:12So, he handed it over.

02:14After that, the day General Kariyappa retired,

02:20he retired on January 14.

02:23And when he retired on January 14,

02:25he became our senior veteran.

02:28And because he became the senior veteran of Independent India,

02:31then Veterans Day was celebrated in his name.

02:35This is a little bit of history.

02:37Now, the Prime Minister has tweeted.

02:41See, the Prime Minister's support has always been with the Army.

02:45I remember that when this government was formed for the first time in 2014,

02:50and after that, there was talk of OROP,

02:53there was a little bit of agitation.

02:55So, at that time, there were two people who tried very hard

02:59to get one rank, one pension from their side.

03:02One was our Defence Minister, Manohar Parrikar,

03:04and at that time, we had a few people,

03:07who had many meetings with Mr. Parrikar.

03:09So, I know this whole history.

03:11And the other was the Prime Minister.

03:13And he tried very hard to get through this.

03:17A lot of things come in between,

03:20but because of him, this went ahead, and this went ahead.

03:24And after that, I have seen that as far as our political establishment is concerned,

03:31it has always supported the Indian Army, the Indian Armed Forces.

03:37And along with that, our veterans also get the political support they need.

03:45Personally, I can say that we are grateful to the Prime Minister and the Defence Minister

03:52for their support.

03:54They continue to support us, and we will continue to do so.
