While at war, one cannot expect victory alone. But, one has to expect defeat and had to retreat at times. It is a war strategy, either to retreat or change the course as and when the situation demands. This is very common feature 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 who are conspiring to hide this reality and make political ends on the loss of lives of soldiers. Hence, I appeal to the people of this country to be beware of such forces. The conspiratory forces were engaged in regular efforts to see that the war and the ethnic strife are to go on so that they will derive political benefits over the dead bodies of our soldiers.
