‘Pak was on high grounds, still…’: PM Modi recalls valour of jawans on Kargil Vijay Diwas

On 'Kargil Vijay Diwas', Prime Minister Narendra Modi recalled the valour of the Indian armed forces during the Kargil War. In his monthly 'Mann ki Baat' radio address, PM Modi criticised Pakistan and said it undertook the misadventure with sinister plans to capture India's land and to divert its ongoing internal conflicts. “Today is Kargil Vijay Diwas. 21 years ago, on this day our Army won the Kargil war. India can never forget circumstances under which the war was fought. Pakistan undertook this misadventure with sinister plans to capture India's land and to divert its ongoing internal conflicts,” he said. PM Modi added, “India was then trying to have cordial relations with Pakistan but as it is said it is the nature of wicked to have enmity with everyone for no reason. People of such nature think evil even of those who do good to them. That is why in response to India's friendly endeavours Pakistan tried to backstab. But the world witnessed the valour and strength of India's brave forces. You can imagine, the enemy was perched high on the mountains while our forces were fighting them. But the high morale and true of our forces won against mountains.” Watch the full video for more details.
