Tweeting some pictures from his meeting with the former IAF chief, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Dhanoa for serving the country with utmost valour.
“Met India’s former Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa (retired). He has served our nation with utmost valour, diligence and professionalism. He has made a rich contribution to our Air Force. My best wishes to him for his future endeavours,” the Prime Minister tweeted.
