Earlier today, multiple other leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan, and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Upendra Dwivedi, also conveyed warm wishes to the ranks, veterans, and families of the Indian army.

"On Army Day, we salute the courage and resolute commitment of the Indian Army.

Salute to the bravery and sacrifice of our jawans. My uncle served in the Army, and I know firsthand the challenges their families face. While international greetings are nice, I hope our government focuses equally on improving soldier welfare, housing, and pensions. Jai Jawan.

Interesting to see the parade in Jaipur this year! A change from Delhi. The Israel-India partnership on tech and security is crucial. Both nations understand the threat of terrorism. May this cooperation grow stronger. Happy Army Day!

Proud moment. Remembering Field Marshal Cariappa on this day. Our army's evolution has been remarkable. The partnership with Israel is strategic and important, but we must ensure our defence R&D and 'Make in India' in defence remain the top priority. Self-reliance is key.

🙏 Gratitude is not enough for what our soldiers do. From Siachen to the deserts, in floods and disasters, they are always first responders. Happy Army Day! Let's all take a moment to appreciate their families too.
