A war memorial had been one of the main promises made by the Bharatiya Janata Party in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections last year. In December last year, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar told Parliament that a proposal to construct a war memorial and a war museum were under "active consideration" of the government.
