Addressing the troops at Siachen Base Camp, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh says, "I congratulate you for the way you protect the country at the world's highest battlefield, Siachen glacier. The land of Siachen is not an ordinary land. It is a symbol of the country's sovereignty and perseverance. It represents our national determination. Our national capital is Delhi, Mumbai is our economic capital, our technological capital is Bengaluru, but Siachen is the capital of valour and courage."
