Responding to a comment by former Strategic Forces Command chief Vice-Admiral SPS Cheema (Retd) on the blurring of lines between conventional and nuclear conflict, the Army chief said he is thankful to the former Navy officer for coming to him a year-and-a-half back. “Since then, in all our wargames, we have been discussing all these issues behind closed doors. Even issues considered taboo earlier are being discussed to build awareness. This is because nuclear conflict is a reality along both our borders.”

Asked about her acrimonious exit from the Congress, Sidhu put up a brave face, saying former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi had contacted her to sort the issue out but she had spurned the outreach. Invoking her namesake husband’s experience in the Congress, she said: “What is the point when what we are promised is not what we are given? When Congress came to power (in 2017) Navjot Sidhu was promised the Deputy Chief Minister’s position and seven departments as minister. All he got was one-and-a-half departments, and that ministry too was taken away from him.”

US pilot rescue in Iran must be seen more than war cost-Nation protects its warriors
The dramatic rescue of US pilot from Iran must be seen more than war cost. Critics who reduce the F-15E rescue to a simple input-output equation overlook the irreducible human and strategic dimensions of war. US did not just rescue two airmen. It rescued something far more vital: the conviction that in the American way of war, the human element still commands the highest price tag of all.
