Deputy CM Premchand Bairwa said in Kota that Operation Sindoor would highlight the courage and valor of the Indian army as displayed in the operation.
Meanwhile, Education Minister Madan Dilawar said that students must read about our great men and great events. The number of lessons in the book is fixed. In such a situation, every great men and event could not be given a place.
