In a post on X by the Rashtrapati Bhavan Secretariat, she said: “Kargil Vijay Diwas is an occasion for a grateful nation to pay tribute to the courage and extraordinary valour of our armed forces.”
Kargil Vijay Diwas, observed on July 26th, commemorates India's victory over Pakistan in the 1999 Kargil War. Share thoughtful wishes with friends and family to mark this important occasion.
Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday remembered the indomitable spirit and courage of the brave soldiers who fought valiantly in the 1999 war and said that the Armed Forces service and sacrifice will continue to inspire "every Indian" and our "coming generations."
As the country celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Kargil Vijay Diwas today, the families of the soldiers remember the bravery and dedication of their loved ones who laid their lives during the war between India and Pakistan at icy heights in 1999.
Very few people are aware that the current Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, visited Kargil during the conflict to speak with the soldiers and pay tribute to the Indian Army.
On Tuesday, various ministers honoured those valiant sons of the soil who rose for their homeland and laid their life.
Despite suffering heavy casualties, the soldiers repeatedly launched daring attacks under withering artillery and small arms fire.
The President, who was scheduled to lay a wreath at the Dras War Memorial, instead paid homage at the War Memorial in Baramulla that is near the Line of Control (LOC) in north Kashmir.
India celebrates Kargil Vijay Diwas on July 26 every year to mark the anniversary of the Indian Army's victory against Pakistan in 1999. The armed conflict continued for more than 60 days at Kargil in Ladakh.
