BJP MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar gives Rs 2.5 lakh to Ladakh boy whose crisp salute to soldiers won hearts

New Delhi: A video clip of a young boy from Ladakh giving a crisp salute to the Indo-Tibetan Border Police personnel had recently gone viral. Now the kid got a gift of Rs 2.5 lakh from BJP MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar. The money has been given to his parents.

In the video, Namgyal, a local kid from Chusul, Ladakh was seen saluting a team of ITBP personnel. The Twitter handle of ITBP shared the 21 seconds long video on the microblogging site and people loved it.

Chandrasekhar said, "Namgyal's spirit of patriotism encouraged many to call upon for helping the young Ladakh boy to realise his dreams. I have contributed Rs 2.5 lakh for him through Flags of Honour Foundation and a cheque of the same amount has been issued in his father's name."

Since being set up in 2009, the Flags of Honour Foundation has supported and advocated the cause of the armed forces, the men and women who served the nation and the veterans who have made tremendous sacrifices for the nation.

Chandrasekhar has reached out to the parents of this young boy, Namgyal, to ensure that he shines bright and inspires others to stand tall for their motherland.
