As the world is celebrating the bond of friendship world over, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Sunday recalled his “friendship” with the “nation’s best” Indian Army.
Turning nostalgic, Capt Amarinder shared his black and white, in army uniform, seen along with his mate on the Twitter from his official handle, tweeting, “There is no greater bond than the one made in the Indian Army.”
“Grateful to have had the friendship and company of the nation's best. Cheers to the friends that accept you for who you are and always have your back. Happy World Friendship Day,” he tweeted.
Capt Amarinder had served in the second battalion of the Sikh Regiment from 1963 to 1969.
Though he left for a short period in between to take over his family’s responsibilities, his love for the Army brought him back as the Indo-Pak war broke out in 1965.
Before him, his father, Lt General Maharaja Yadvinder Singh was in the regiment in 1935 and served as Colonel from 1938 to 1950 and 1950-1971, respectively.
