1/ #IHateCELEBRATINGKargil #AntithesisKargil What is there to ‘celebrate’ today, 26 Jul? Kargil? Do you even understand that there was no victory? Victory belonged to whom? Who was ‘defeated’? Are you celebrating 537 Killed soldiers? Are you celebrating 1000+disabled soldiers?

2/ #IHateCELEBRATINGKargil #AntithesisKargil Fo you have courage to lock your eyes with widows of Kargil? Can you even establish eye contact with children of dead soldiers? What in name of hell is VIJAY DIWAS? Tomorrow an intruder comes in your home, violates your women & family

3/ #IHateCELEBRATINGKargil #AntithesisKargil …forces you to fight, your family members die, are injured and are raped now you fight and throw out the intruder. Once he is cleared from your home, will you and your village ‘celebrate’ the event? Or will you first find out how did

4/ #IHateCELEBRATINGKargil #AntithesisKargil …did the intruder enter your house? Who was on periphery duty to stop him? Who all were responsible for guarding village? Will you let the Gaon Pradhan retain his position? Now, few young men gathered and decided to help you out,

5/ #IHateCELEBRATINGKargil #AntithesisKargil …these men entered your house and fought with intruders. You and your men folk were sitting quietly while these young men fought and killed/threw out intruders. A number of your village youth died. Next day the stock of situation was

6/ #IHateCELEBRATINGKargil #AntithesisKargil …to be taken. You realised that the Gaon Pradhan was hell bent not to let the story out. Instead of getting after the people who were responsible to guard, he asks you to do something. You as Army Chief are hell bent to save yourself

7/ #IHateCELEBRATINGKargil #AntithesisKargil …so @vedmalik1 coins the term ‘Vijay Diwas’. The house owner responsible to safeguard his home now encashes the emotions of the dead youth who came to save you and declare ‘Vijay Diwas’. See the point? The guard, the mohalla head,

8/ #IHateCELEBRATINGKargil #AntithesisKargil …the ward head ALL are your favourites. So? You save them all by throwing a red herring ‘Vijay Diwas’, ‘Ye Dil Maange More’ and much more. It’s a hype, crescendo, blinding flash - VIJAY DIWAS! It’s a National Victory. You then write

9/ #IHateCELEBRATINGKargil #AntithesisKargil ..books, give lectures, completely smother truth and expect to be awarded by nation.Why despite being 23 years not even one government has ever considered recognising @vedmalik1 ? Every Government knew truth. No one wants smeared hands

10/Last #IHateCELEBRATINGKargil #AntithesisKargil My head hangs in shame every 26 July remembering 527 Killed In Action & 1000+ disabled due to the mistakes of Chain of Command. While their families and children suffer others ‘Celebrate’ Vijay diwas. Come on…go open a Champagne.

11/ @PMOIndia @rajnathsingh @AmitShah Sir, Just because BJP was in power does not mean it was BJPs failure. Not at all. Chief owes an answer to the nation for his failure to detect intrusion. Force having primary responsibility to guard must pay. 527 soldiers died for no reason.
