Speaking at the function, Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said that they are very lucky that they are safe here and are celebrating. He added that the soldiers deployed on the border are also the reason behind this happiness. He expressed that they should also remember them during the time of these festivities.
Referring to the recent Poonch attack, CJI DY Chandrachud said that the country just lost four members of the Armed Forces two days ago. He continued that they will give up everything, even if it comes to their lives, as so many people in the Armed Forces do in the service of the nation. He mentioned that as the country celebrates Christmas, soldiers who are at the borders and are giving up their lives to protect the nation should not be forgotten.
The Chief Justice of India said that people like doctors and nurses who are working tirelessly to save lives should also be remembered.
Every year on December 25, Christmas is celebrated to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. People from all across the globe celebrate December 25 as a religious and cultural event.
