Former Indian Army Chief General MM Naravane disclosed that Defence Minister Rajnath Singh granted him a free hand to handle a tense situation with China in August 2020. Singh's directive, "Jo ucchit samjho woh karo" (Do whatever you deem appropriate), was revealed in Naravane's memoir, 'Four Stars of Destiny.' The memoir details a night of high tension, with phone calls between Singh, the external affairs minister, the national security advisor, and the chief of defence staff. Naravane, tasked with a critical decision, reflected on the gravity of the situation before taking action in response to the Chinese PLA's movements in Ladakh.
