True leadership in action: JP Nadda on PM's visit to Ladakh

NEW DELHI: BJP leaders hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Ladakh on Friday amid a military standoff between India and China, with party president J P Nadda saying his "words give words to the emotion of 130 crore Indians and act as a great morale booster for our armed forces".
"Veer bhogya vasundhara. PM Narendra Modi's words give words to the emotion of 130 crore Indians and act as a great morale booster for our armed forces! True leadership in action!" Nadda said in a tweet after PM Modi addressed soldiers in Ladakh's Nimu.

"Veer bhogya vasundhara" is a Hindi idiom that means that the brave will inherit the earth.
Lauding the Prime Minister's visit, home minister Amit Shah said it will boost the morale of valorous soldiers.
PM Modi's visit to Ladakh came amidst the ongoing standoff between the Indian Army and China's PLA (People's Liberation Army) in the forward areas of the high-altitude region.
Tensions had escalated between the two countries after 20 Indian Army personnel were killed in a fierce clash with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh last month.
"Leading from the front. Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji with our brave and courageous personnel of Army, Air Force & ITBP at a forward location in Ladakh.

"This visit of honourable PM will surely boost the morale of our valorous soldiers," Amit Shah tweeted along with multiple pictures of PM Modi with the soldiers.
Union minister Prakash Javadekar said PM Modi's visit to Ladakh has conveyed people's message to soldiers that the whole nation is with them.
"The whole nation is with you. Our PM Narendra Modi reached Leh to convey the message of the nation. Salute to PM and our brave soldiers. We are proud of our Army and leader," the information and broadcasting minister said, adding that the visit will "tremendously bolster" the morale of armed forces.
BJP general secretary Ram Madhav said the Prime Minister's "bold move and clarion call" are bound to increase pressure on China which, he added, is already "beleaguered" by attacks from various other countries and also "growing internal power struggle".
PM Modi's visit is also his response to "irresponsible domestic critics" who were trying to "demoralise" security forces, Madhav said.
