Vowing to keep the "nation above all", Indian Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor said here on Thursday that the force's "patience is being tested" post the Mumbai attacks. He was speaking on the 61st Army Day.

"Mumbai attack ke baad sena ke dhairya ki pariksha li jaa rahi hai. Bharat lambe samay se atankwad se jujh raha hai (After the Mumbai attack the patience of the army is being tested. India has been fighting against terrorism for a long time)," Kapoor told a gathering of serving and retired defence personnel at the Delhi Cantonment parade ground.
