Ladakh stood like a rock with the country

During this, Sanjay Singh said that this is the same Ladakh which has shown patriotism by standing like a rock with the country in the Kargil war of 1948, 1962, 1971, 1999 and the border tension of 2020. He mentioned the apprehensions expressed by Sonam Wangchuk’s wife. Sanjay Singh also expressed fear of danger to his life in jail.
