Kargil Vijay Diwas symbolises extraordinary valour, steadfast determination of our jawans: Murmu
NEW DELHI: President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday said the Kargil Vijay Diwas symbolises the extraordinary valour and steadfast determination of the country's jawans, and paid tributes to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the 1999 conflict.
Their dedication and supreme sacrifice for the nation will forever inspire its citizens, she asserted.
"On the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas, I pay my heartfelt tribute to the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the motherland. This day symbolises the extraordinary valour, courage, and steadfast determination of our jawans. Their dedication and supreme sacrifice for the nation will forever inspire its citizens. Jai Hind! Jai Bharat!" Murmu said in a post in Hindi on X.
On July 26, 1999, the Indian Army announced the successful culmination of "Operation Vijay", declaring victory after a nearly three-month-long battle on the icy heights of Kargil in Ladakh.
The day is observed as the Kargil Vijay Diwas to commemorate India's victory over Pakistan in the war.
