Salute our brave security personnel who laid down their lives in an operation against the maoists in Chattisgarh. Their commitment and sacrifice for the country will not go in vain. My thoughts are with the families of our jawans. India will never bow down to forces of terror.

Deeply sad & angry at our jawans’ murder in #Chhattisgarh by Maoists. Some young ppl today are seduced by leftist ideology, unaware of the horrific violence they espouse, which has killed crores worldwide. Think about it the next time you hear someone say Lal Salaam.
Om Shanti🙏— Baijayant Jay Panda (@PandaJay) April 3, 2021
