Chief Minister Vijay Rupani on Tuesday said that the Afghanistan Army abandoned its people unlike the Indian Army. Speaking at the ceremony, ‘Swarnim Vijay Varsh’, organised by the Golden Katar division of the Indian Army at the Sabarmati riverfront, he said, “Only having an army is not enough for a country. Recently, the Afghanistan army surrendered (ghutne tek diye) in front of the Taliban. But our Indian Army has never surrendered nor allowed any enemy to gaze towards Bharat Mata. Rupani also remembered the attack of Pakistan Air Force at the Bhuj air base of Indian Air Force which came under attack during the 1971 war.
