'Jai Jawan Jai Kissan' to resound at MLF set to begin tomorrow

Chandigarh, Dec 17 (UNI) National spirit of 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan' will echo across the globe
at the Military Literature Festival 2020 set to begin tomorrow.
Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will be launching the 4th Military Literature Festival (MLF) 2020 during a virtual ceremony on Friday.
Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, who has spearheaded the Festival to nurture a vibrant platform of free, liberal and an all-inclusive expression of military literary thought to attract youngsters towards defence forces would preside over the closing ceremony of three-day event on December 20.
Disclosing this here during the Festival Announcement Ceremony at Punjab Bhawan earlier
Thursday afternoon, the Senior Advisor to Punjab Chief Minister Lt. Gen. (Retd.) TS Shergill shared that the prestigious event to be held from December 18 to 20 would be organised online this year due to ongoing Covid situation.
The event would also be a curtain raiser for the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of the 1971 War against Pakistan which falls next year, General Shergill said ,adding our gallant victory in the war leading to creation of Bangladesh is an incredible tale of great heroic traditions of the Indian Army.
Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan is significant not only for Punjab, but for the whole nation as our jawans who give their all for motherland come from diverse rural backgrounds, General Shergill said elucidating the rationale behind the theme of MLF 2020.
Reiterating the unflinching committment of farmers and soldiers to the motherland, General Shergill termed symbiotic relationship between both as our greatest strength. The global appeal of our Festival will further elevate the understanding of their contribution to the nation, he hoped.
Further, the event which would be telecast live to its worldwide audience on MLF Website, Facebook, Youtube and other platforms of the social media would present an international level forum to stimulate wide-ranging deliberations by celebrated defence officers, subject experts and political leaders during 13 panel discussions on topical issues of strategic regional and national significance, besides 7 of the Clarion Call - Josh aur Jasbah episodes and 3 book discussions which are being covered by more than 85 eminent speakers and experts.
MLF website already boasts of over 16 Lakh viewers from around the globe, he added.
