Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that the Armed Forces Flag Day (AFFD) is about saluting the valour, determination and sacrifices of India's courageous soldiers.
The Chief Minister said the nation's soldiers showed their valour in adverse circumstances in the Kargil war, and the whole world recognised the Indian Army's prowess.
It is due to our soldiers that the borders of the country are secure and our independence and sovereignty are intact, the CM said.
Since 1949, Armed Forces Flag Day is observed on December 7 in honour of the armed forces personnel who fight on the borders to keep the country safe and secure from any outside attack.
Exhorting people to come out with voluntary donations for the Flag Day Fund, the CM said the money would be utilised for the rehabilitation of war widows, disabled defence personnel, and ex-servicemen.
