Mr Singh paid rich tributes to the Army, paramilitary forces and J&K police who continued to sacrificing their lives for the integrity of nation. Mr Singh appreciated the decision taken by the Prime minister like demonetization, GST and other steps to nail the separatists for amassing illegal wealth and though late also appreciated the statement of Governor N N Vohra who has warned the political parties in Jammu and Kashmir whom he described that they have failed to muster courage for venturing out of their, "secure habitats to meet their voters".
Thakur said the most of the present politicians in Jammu and Kashmir have been provided unnecessary police protection which should be withdrawn immediately and have made politics a business which was a social service and present Ministers, MP’s and MLA's are only worried to raise their salaries and have forgotten the valiant soldiers of our country who are defending our most difficult borders like Siachen Glacier in Ladakh where more than thousand Army jawans have gave their life while fighting with weather conditions at the highest battle field in the world where temperature goes upto 60 degree.
Mr Singh reminded the audience that he has opened the highest motorable road Khardungla at 17800 feet as Minister of Ladakh affairs in early 70's which became base for Sichen glacier.
