Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday lauded the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Ladakh and said the tour will boost the morale of “our valorous soldiers”
Modi’s visit to Ladakh came amidst the ongoing stand-off between the Indian Army and China’s PLA (People’s Liberation Army) in the forward areas of the high altitude region.
Tensions had escalated between the two countries after 20 Indian Army personnel were killed in a fierce clash with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh last month.

“This visit of honourable PM will surely boost the morale of our valorous soldiers,” he tweeted along with multiple pictures of Modi with the soldiers.
Shah also used the hashtag ‘#ModiInLeh’ in his Twitter post.
