Modi gives wrong information about Field Marshall Cariappa & General Thimayya
Kalburgi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is busy in campaigning for Karnataka Assembly polls these days, has give the wrong information about India’s two greatest military heroes Field Marshall Cariappa & General Thimayya while addressing an election rally at Kalburgi.
He said that India won the 1948 war under General Thimaya, but after the war, the man who saved Kashmir was insulted by Nehru and the then defence minister, Krishna Menon.
Incidentally, the first war India fought after Independence in 1947-48 was under General Francis Bucher. General Thimayya led the Army in the operations in Kashmir and went on to become the Army Chief in 1957.
Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala took on the PM and said, "Modi ji, Better start reading from a paper to brush up your knowledge of history. In 1947, K'ntaka pride Gen Thimayya was the High Commissioner to U.K. between 1947-52 & not Army Chief."
After realising that he had jumbled the facts, Surjewala deleted his tweet and put up a new one. He said, "Modi ji, Better start reading from a paper to brush up your knowledge of history. Gen Thimayya became Army Chief only on 8th May 1957 and not 1947 as you alleged. V K Krishna Menon was ambassador to the UK between 1947-52 & not Defence Minister as you alleged."
