Sir — This refers to the article, “Intrude, violate, and then offer to discuss” (April 25) by Claude Arpi. During the stand-off with China in 1986, India launched Operation Falcon in 1986, and it is to the credit of our Army, led by General K Sunderji, that India sent out a strong message and forced the Chinese to withdraw. Do we have anyone like that now who can do the sameIJ
Even at that time, when Rajiv Gandhi’s coterie criticised General Sunderji, the former Prime Minister did not react or interfere and let the General do his duty.
