To be on the border to protect our country is one daredevil task and not everyone’s cup of tea. At a time when even the children of the officers of the defence forces are hardly keen to join Army, it is surprising and also delighting to see Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s brother Shailendra Mohan working as a subedar in the Indian Army.
Subedar Shailendra who is extremely patriotic and dedicated towards his duty said, “We carry out patrolling along the border throughout the year against any security challenge. This area is our homeland and we will protect it at any cost.”
Yogi’s brother is posted near the Mana border with China in the Garhwal Scouts unit which employs only locals as soldiers to guard the mountainous borders.
When Shailendra was asked whether he gets time to meet his family especially his brother, he said that he had met him in Delhi only once after he took over as the chief minister of UP.
Lastly, he said his brother Yogi’s only message to him was that he should serve the country to the best of his ability while sharing his own experiences in the service of the nation.
