In a statement to ANI, Seth said, “Today, 140 crore countrymen are celebrating Kargil Vijay Diwas. We salute the soldiers who lost their lives in Kargil. Whether the temperature is -40 degrees Celsius or 50 degrees Celsius, our soldiers serve Mother India… Be it Kargil Vijay Diwas, a surgical strike, or Operation Sindoor, our Indian Army stands as one of the best in the world. 140 crore Indians are indebted to the valour and courage of our brave soldiers…”
Earlier in the day, families of soldiers who lost their lives during the Kargil War paid tributes to the war heroes on the occasion of the 26th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas.
The programme, organized in Dras town, was attended by a large number of people. Families took turns visiting the War memorial and paying tribute to the valiant soldiers. Every year on July 26, India commemorates Kargil Vijay Diwas—a day etched in the nation’s heart with pride and solemn remembrance. It marks the successful conclusion of Operation Vijay in 1999, when India reclaimed strategic heights from Pakistani intruders.
The Kargil War is a testament to strong political, military, and diplomatic actions. This conflict will always be remembered for its strategic and tactical surprises, as well as the self-imposed national strategy of restraint that kept the war limited to the Kargil-Siachen sectors, alongside the swiftly executed tri-services military strategy.
