He talked about the India's acquisition of many strategic arms and missile powers which later went into deep-neck scams in the various earlier regimes that let Indian army on the backfoot.
" Had we provided the holistic go ahead on numerous occasions , the image of the LOC would have been something else," he said .
Brig Sukhdev Singh also dwelled deep into India's stupendous success of capturing 90,000 Pakistan Prisoners of War and said that any decision at that particular time would have favoured India , but held the then prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru responsible as game-changer.
" While Pakistanis were our captives , Nehru ran to UN for a solution and decision that kept the entire thing on hold . While UN got busy into the enquiry period , we could had made our heyday , but he stopped all advancement there and then," said Brig Sukhdev Singh.
Brigadier also gave account of various wars with Pakistan and china and mentioned that most of times the country had been on the advantage point , but lost the opportunity because of political maneuverings.
Operation Gibralter , Brasstack and other examples he quoted during his speech.

Post-Independence, the Army has excelled itself admirably in every operation; be it recapture of area taken by Pakistani raiders soon after J&K acceded to India, dealing with Pakistan aggression in 1965, creation of Bangladesh in 1971, Kargil operations 1999 or dealing with terrorists fr anywhere inside India. Indian Army has also been doing well in UN peacekeeping missions in the world. Recently the Army successfully launched cross LOC strike causing heavy casualties to the terrorists.
