Sardar Patel had predicted Doklam standoff in 1950: Parrikar
Quoting a letter written by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to Jawaharlal Nehru, Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on Tuesday said Patel had predicted the recent Doklam standoff between India and China in 1950. Patel correctly predicted India's wars with China and Pakistan in the letter, he added. The situation in Kashmir is volatile as Patel's views were ignored, Parrikar further said.
