Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday reminded the nation of what he called the backstabbing by Pakistan during the Kargil war in 1999, and paid tribute to the Indian armed forces for their valour in defending the country’s territory and their victory, reported a national news agency, IANS.

India celebrates Kargil Vijay Diwas on 26 July to commemorate Indian armed forces’ victory over Pakistan troops in 1999 in Kargil.

“Twenty-one years ago on this day, our Army won the Kargil war. Back then, India was trying to have cordial relations with Pakistan. However, as the saying goes — ‘it is in the nature of the wicked to have enmity with everyone for no reason’,” Mr. Modi said during his monthly radio programme ‘Mann Ki Baat’.

The Prime Minister said that Pakistan undertook the “misadventure with sinister plans to capture India’s land” in order to divert attention from its “internal conflicts”.

He also talked about #courageinkargil trending on the social media. “People are bowing down to their heroes, paying tribute to the martyrs. I urge you to tell each other the stories about the sacrifices of the brave mothers, share the stories of our jawans associated with the Kargil victory today,” the PM urged the countrymen.

He said that what Indians say in the event of a war has a profound effect on the morale of a army personnel deployed on the borders as well as his family back home.

He also remembered then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s statement from the Red Fort ramparts during the Kargil war. (IANS)
