Ramesh wrote on X, “The defense of Rezang La by C Company of 13 Kumaon under the leadership of the great Major Shaitan Singh is one of the most historic episodes in Indian war history. The 114 gallant soldiers of C Company fought to the last man and last bullet against the superior number of Chinese (five were captured alive) and saved Ladakh by successfully defending Chushul air base.

China understands that if the Prime Minister is allowed to claim PR successes, he will continue to give ground to the Chinese salami slicing strategy and he will continue to lie to the country by saying “No one has crossed our border, Nor has anyone entered.”
