26 years ago, in 1999, the Pakistani army made a futile attempt to secretly occupy the Kargil sector, Dras sector, Batalik sector, and Tiger Hill. Our brave army warriors defeated the Pakistani forces, achieving victory and hoisting the tricolour again in Kargil, he added.

Under the esteemed leadership of Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, India in the defence sector today has become strong, capable, and powerful. Be it Pulwama, Uri, or the nefarious activities in Pehalgam, our army has responded to Pakistan in its own language through surgical strikes, air strikes, and Operation Sindoor on all three occasions, he added further.

Today is a day to remember the indomitable courage, unparalleled strength, and valour of our brave soldiers and to express gratitude towards them. I pay heartfelt tribute to the immortal sons of Mother India, said Nadda in the post.

Kargil Vijay Diwas is observed annually to commemorate India victory over Pakistan in the 1999 Kargil war, and to remember the indomitable spirit of the soldiers who laid down their lives for the nation. (ANI)
