As it is the day to salute once again our Indian soldiers who toil endlessly to protect the country, Modi tweeted, " Our Army is known for its valour and professionalism. It is also respected for its humanitarian spirit. Whenever people have needed help, our Army has risen to the occasion and done everything possible! Proud of our Army. I pray for the good health of Shamima and her child."
