India stands united in this grief, says Rahul
Leaders across party lines on Wednesday condoled the death of Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat, who, along with his wife Madhulika Rawat and 11 others, was killed in a helicopter crash in Tamil Nadu, and recalled his service to the nation.
As the Indian Air Force confirmed that Gen. Rawat had passed away in the crash, condolences poured in from all corners. Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in a tweet that Gen. Rawat was one of the bravest to have served the country.
“A very sad day for the nation as we have lost our CDS, General Bipin Rawat Ji in a very tragic accident. He was one of the bravest soldiers, who has served the motherland with utmost devotion. His exemplary contributions & commitment cannot be put into words. I am deeply pained,” Mr. Shah said.
