India Defence forces all set to participate in National Day Parade of France
A 400-strong contingent of the three wings of Indian defence forces (Army, Navy and Air Force) performed a full-dress rehearsal here today ahead of their visit to France to participate in a parade making National Day celebrations in France on July 14. This is the for the first time that all the three services - Army, Navy and Air Force will be participating in the National Day celebrations of another country. Among the 400 personnel, 300 would be part of the marching contingent, while the rest are from the respective bands. A prominent feature of the band contingent will be the drummers and bagpipers who would be playing Indian martial music. The members of this contingent have been practicing for the past fortnight at the India Gate. "We have stood first in the Army Day parade, the reason we have been selected for the French national day parade. And as far this specific practice for French National Day celebration is concerned we have been practicing from past one month and from last 15 days we have been practicing at India Gate," said Captain Vinay Khanduri of 22 Maratha Light Infantry. French President Nicolas Sarkozy has invited Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh to be the chief guest at the French National Day celebrations. (ANI)
