Did you know that in 1967 India killed 300 Chinese soldiers, but the treacherous Congress people can't take credit for this success, due to some compulsion? So read what happened... In reality, in 1967 India's brave soldiers made the Chinese regret it, but the Congress government had no role in it at all. Here is the full story: In the 1965 war, Pakistan was losing. Ayub Khan rushed to China and requested that it open a second front too, so that India would lose the war. To help Pakistan, China immediately warned India: "The Indian Army should vacate two of its posts!" One of these posts was "Jelep" and the other was the famous "Nathu La." It is the country's misfortune that the cowardly Congress directly accepted this Chinese order and instructed the army: "Vacate the Jelep and Nathu La posts and let the Indian forces fall back." This was exactly the time when India's jewel, "Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri ji," had died mysteriously in Tashkent! And Indira Gandhi had become India's Prime Minister. So naturally the order was followed, and the Jelep post was vacated as ordered. As soon as the Indian forces withdrew, the Chinese formally occupied it without shedding a single drop of blood. At the other post, Nathu La, General Sagat Singh was posted. The Corps headquarters chief, "General Bewoor," ordered him to vacate Nathu La, but General Sagat Singh openly refused to obey that order. General Sagat Singh and his unit stood firm despite there being no orders! A fierce clash took place! 65 Indian soldiers were martyred! But our soldiers stood in the open with their courage, while China, in a comparatively better position, was killing our men. Do you know why this was so? ...It was because the Indian Army had artillery there too, but even the Chief of Army Staff had no authority to order it to be fired. (Yes, you read that right, read it again... "even the Chief of Army Staff had no authority to order the artillery to fire.") Here soldiers were attaining martyrdom, and the PM madam (the so-called Iron Lady) was in no mood to use it in any way. Sensing the situation, and without caring about anything, General Sagat Singh directly told his soldiers to use the artillery. After the General's order, the scene there changed. The Indian Army unleashed such havoc on the Chinese that in no time 300 Chinese soldiers were wiped out in a one-sided manner. As soon as the situation normalized, General Sagat was punished. He was transferred from there and sent elsewhere, but the Nathu La pass was secured because of that great man. What a shame that ...this tale of Indian valor (which should have been part of the curriculum) was meant to be told to the nation's future generations, but it wasn't... because if it had been told, this tale of Indian valor would have emerged as Congress's tale of shame. That is why such a big victory was hidden from the country. The ones who ordered two posts vacated on a single threat..., and who would not permit the artillery to be fired at any cost... these are the same Congress people who later even compromised and took away from the Indian Army there the right to fire ordinary bullets, and the prince of that same "Khangress" appeared on TV during the Doklam dispute and asks why the soldiers were sent empty-handed...
