Correction-47 Years 🙏🏽
This Table is In the Cadet's Mess at the National Defence Academy, the largest Mess in Asia & table set for one, with the chair tilted forward since 1971.

The placard on the table reads: “The table set is small, for one, symbolizing the frailty of one prisoner against his oppressors. The single rose displayed in a vase reminds us of the families and loved ones of our comrades-in-arms who keep their faith awaiting their return 😌

The candle is unlit, symbolizing upward reach of their unconquerable spirit.The slice of Lemon is on bread plate, to remind us of bitter fate. There is salt upon the bread plate – symbolic of the families’ tears as they wait.The Glass is inverted, they cannot toast with us😌😌

Now - Let me Disclose - An Uncomfortable Fact Of 1971 War Which has deep relationship with this ‘ Table ‘ 😔!
After Simla Agreement in 1972 was signed ,Pakistan Agreed to recognize the independence of Bangladesh in exchange for the return of 90-97K Pakistani POWs🙄

We Released All Approx.97000 Pakistani Prisoners Of Wars & sent them to Pakistan with dignity
But
There were 54 Brave Indian Army Personnel - who were held as POWs in Pakistan 😠!! Indira ji - didn’t get them back 😡
( This Table is Awaiting Them 😣)

IndiraG & @INCIndia forgot These Indian Sainiks Who were held as POW in Pakistan😳?

“This table is set for Armed Forces Personnel who are Prisoners of War and forgotten, in the hope that they will return one day
( I repeat- 54 PsOW of the 1971 war have never returned home).😢

Shimla agreement was a Diplomatic disaster 😡!! For Self Glorification- Indira G & her @INCIndia Government sold & compromised The Interest Of ‘ India ‘ 😠!!

I question today - Why Indian PsOW were not ‘demanded ‘ back & Why Pakistan was not told to vacate #POK at that time 😡?

What the Fcuk ‘ #LOC ‘ means 😠?? This LOC Drama could have been easily solved in 1972 -Shimla Agreement But #IndiraG was too much mesmerised by Pakistani Bhutta 😤😤😡

Details on this Can be found on Wikipedia page “The missing 54” !!
#IndiraG betrayed the Army after 1971 war & did not do anything to bring them back 🤔

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_missi…

In November 2014 , SC had asked for ‘current status of 1971 Prisoners of Wars languishing in Pakistan jails ‘ 🤔

Are you feeling Ashamed @INCIndia on this legacy of selfish #IndiraG 😏?? #IronLady or #IdiotLady ?
