Defence Minister Rajnath Singh sharing a video of the Indian Navy on his Twitter wrote "On this special day commemorating Indian Navy''s daring ''Operation Trident'' during 1971 war, my greetings and best wishes to all personnel of this outstanding force which continues to protect our national interest through maritime security."
