Ajith salutes armed forces
The actor also paid tribute to the bravery and sacrifices of the armed forces, who work tirelessly to protect the nation. “I met a lot of people from the armed forces today (Monday). I want to let them all know that we salute them for their sacrifices. They work very hard so that we are able to sleep peacefully. My heart goes out to them, and I wish them and their families a beautiful life. They’re working so tirelessly to safeguard our borders, and I think at least in their honour we should, within our country, learn to respect each other and respect every religion, every caste and let’s not fight at least within ourselves in India. Let us be one peaceful society,” added Ajith.
