No words for this picture of the parents of Wg Cdr Deepak Sathe, pilot of the ill-fated #AirIndia flight. To lose another child at this age. They lost their 1st son Armyman Lt Vikas years ago in an accident in Punjab. Now this. How cruel the world can be. Prayers for their peace.

Haunted by these images of Aakriti Sood, wife of Major Anuj Sood, receiving her incredibly brave husband's Shaurya Chakra today. He was killed in action in May 2020 rescuing civilians from the crossfire in a terror encounter in Handwara, J&K. No words enough. 🙏🏽💔

Let’s be clear. The UK has entirely FAILED in its duty to provide security to the Indian Embassy (can we stop this ‘High Commission’ bullshit?) in London. These thugs could have been carrying bombs. This is an attack on Indian sovereignty, and the UK failed to stop it. Period.
