While waging a war one cannot expect victory alone. But one is expected to face defeat and retreat at times. It is a war strategy to either to retreat or change the course as the occasion may demand. This is very common in a war. The entire nation is proud of our soldiers for their courage and their indomitable spirit which made it possible to recapture the lost land.
War is cruel and destructive.
Lives will have to be sacrificed. Our heroic soldiers are conscious of this fact. There are certain forces which are conspiring to hide this reality and make use of the loss of lives of the soldiers for their political benefit. Hence I appeal to the people of this country to beware of such forces. These conspiratory forces are engaged in constant mean efforts to see that the war and the ethnic strife are continued so that they will derive political benefit over the bodies of our soldiers.
