Personalities like Late Lt Gen SK Sinha are an inspiration

“As the nation is moving forward with a clear and firm policy on issues related to its sovereignty, personalities such as Late Lt Gen Srinivas Kumar Sinha are an inspiration to the Government,” said Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh in a video message during a memorial lecture organised to commemorate the birth centenary of Lt Gen Sinha, a distinguished officer of the Indian Army who later served as the Ambassador to Nepal as well as Governor of Assam and Jammu & Kashmir.

Raksha Mantri paid glowing tributes to Lt Gen Sinha, commending his unwavering loyalty and dedication towards the nation. Lt Gen Sinha was a great soldier, diplomat and executive head of a state who always placed the nation above everything else, he said.

In his address, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Gen Anil Chauhan described Lt Gen Sinha as a Soldier-Statesman, Scholar Warrior and a man of character. Urging the Armed Forces personnel to draw lessons from the officer’s tenures in both civil and military space, the CDS said “The senior leadership must build a culture where professional military education, debate and integrity are as valued as gallantry.

Three former Chiefs of the Army Staff – Gen NC Vij, Gen Deepak Kapoor and Gen Dalbir Singh – were present on the occasion, along with the Vice Chief of the Army Staff Lt Gen PP Singh. Around 300 serving and retired personnel, as well as family members of Lt Gen Sinha attended the function.(UPDATED ON 7TH JANUARY 20226)
