Lt. Gen Sanjay Kulkarni (Retd.) lately also reacted to her views and said ¡°she probably does not know what Galwan is.¡±

Refusing to accept the apology, the former army man told India Today: ¡°I thought the statement was intentional and not for any other reason because the subsequent statement where she has apologized to say that she withdrew her statement is indicative that now she has said that her grandfather had been a casualty of the 1962 war, her maternal uncle was a paratrooper. What great people they have been.¡±

¡°I am sure she hasn¡¯t imbibed anything from them and she has also brought shame to her nearest family. The statement is deplorable. Highly deplorable, condemnable and was totally avoidable. She didn¡¯t have to comment on a domain she is not familiar with and should have left matters to military professionals,¡± he added.

Defending the Commander¡¯s statement, Lt. Gen Sanjay Kulkarni (Retd.) said, ¡°The Northern Army Commander has only expressed his sentiment that he can take Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) back if required and if he is given orders to. And that should there be a ceasefire violation, there will be retaliation. He has said nothing else. I don¡¯t think anybody should have commented or been sarcastic.¡±
