"My fellow Indians,

Yesterday, 20th February 1954, will go down in history as a day of infamy for our nation. Late last night, British warplanes carried out a deliberate and unprovoked attack on an Indian supply convoy stationed near Ismailia in Egypt.

This convoy, carrying medical aid, food, and ammunition for our soldiers stationed in Egypt, was ruthlessly targeted.

Twelve of our brave soldiers were killed in this cowardly assault. Many more were wounded, and the convoy itself was utterly destroyed.
