Actress Celina Jaitly has walked down the memory lane, and shared an anecdote exemplifying the history of backstabbing by Pakistan, as the rogue state violated the ceasefire on Saturday following the skirmishes.
The actress took to her X, formerly Twitter, and shared a throwback picture featuring her grandfather, who served as a Colonel in the Indian forces. She also penned a long note.
She wrote, “History of Backstabbing, (My Grandfather Colonel E Francis & General Ayub Khan) (Brothers in arms to adversaries) With violation of ceasefire by Pakistan history of backstabbing repeats itself. My maternal grandfather, Colonel Eric Francis, sits here as a young lieutenant (black hair, seated in khaki uniform, second from the viewer’s right) beside his THEN brother-in-arms, then Lieutenant Colonel Ayub Khan, who would later become the second President of Pakistan. Together, they fought as comrades under the British flag in World War II against the Imperial Japanese Army in Burma. They shared battlefields, hardships, and the kind of loyalty only forged in the fire of war”.
