"There should be no casualties to own soldiers," said Mr Manohar Parrikar while giving okay for Surgical Strikes in my office, when he came to Srinagar on day of Uri attack in 2016. He was the most decisive leader I have known. On his death anniversary, A General Salute 🫡

@TheSatishDua Moments like that reveal the kind of clarity leaders carry in critical situations. Manohar Parrikar was often remembered for taking firm decisions while keeping the safety of soldiers at the centre.

@TheSatishDua A man who took tough decisions while always putting the safety of his soldiers first. His decisiveness and care for the forces will always be remembered with respect.

@TheSatishDua "He was the most decisive leader I have known" That's a huge tribute Sir 🫡

@TheSatishDua Lt Gen sir, why Gen VKS not allowed to become Defence Minster? Any legal issue or limitation preventing that ?

@TheSatishDua That's the safest direction he could get. But was it a practical one? Can wars be ever fought without accepting men & material losses? Please don't eulogise mediocrity.

@TheSatishDua @keshda How unrealistic to expect no casualties of own tps,what kind of decisiveness is this? Notwithstanding he was a good person and a politician.

@TheSatishDua Simplicity in life, steel in decisions. 🇮🇳 Manohar Parrikar wasn’t about power—he was about purpose. From leading Goa to strengthening India’s defence, he showed what honest governance truly looks like. Legends don’t fade, they inspire generations…….

@TheSatishDua We owe him for all modernization orop he was not bullied by babus unlike now..he used to take views from all including veterans and then arrive at a decision..

@TheSatishDua Well he is one of person behind multiple things and some of early modernization of the armed forces.. hope mahakal gives his soul peace jai bholenath..

@TheSatishDua How is that desicive? Say no casualties accepted essentially is to protect political interests and not really about anyone caring for them

@TheSatishDua Gen Satish Dua , if you can be open , who is your favorite Defence Minister ?

@TheSatishDua Gone too soon 🙁! Wish he had stayed our RM for longer time.

@TheSatishDua 🙏🙏

@TheSatishDua A great man. Salute to Mr. Manohar Parrikar 🫡🫡

@TheSatishDua One of the most dedicated politician - helped armed forces to come up with OROP, address munition shortage issues, bullet proof vests, S-400 despite American pressure. India owes a great deal of gratitude to him. I can only pray that he comes back to serve India again.
