Ref : 3. Kargil victory was symbol of India's might: PM Modi

    Prime minister Narendra Modi paying tributes to the heroes and martyrs of the Kargil war 20 years after they pushed back Pakistan from Indian soil in the Drass Sector.

    In 1999, Pakistan tried to encroach upon our territory by covertly sending troops to India. Operation Vijay was launched to push back the intruders.

    The Kargil battle which was fought at 15,000 feet, is a symbol the courage and valour of Indian soldiers.

    Even in those challenging circumstances, our bravehearts displayed exemplary bravery and keen strategy. We lost 500 of our beloved sons.

    Saluting them, PM hit out at Pakistan for its duplicity on the issue of Kashmir. He said it's ill intentions were defeated in 1999 when India gave a befitting reply at Kargil.

    Without naming Pakistan, PM Modi said the country is still smarting from the defeat 20 years ago and continues to fuel terrorism in India.

    Its aim is to destroy peace and tranquility and create an atmosphere of instability in the country.

    But our bravehearts continue to foil these attempts. PM appealed to all to unite against terror.

    Families of Kargil martyrs as well as war heroes were special invitees at the event.

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi saluted not just the solders but also their family members who forsake their tomorrow for our today.

    Prime Minister said that since 2014 his government has been working tirelessly for the welfare of the forces.

    The longstanding demand of one rank one pension, construction of the very first national war memorial as well as increasing scholarships for children of martyrs are just some of the steps taken in this direction.

    The government is also committed to modernization of defence forces.

    NOTE :62 luminaries write to PM Modi; slam false narratives in letter by 49 intellectuals.

    A letter in reply to a letter. A  few days back 49 people including some distinguished celebrities wrote an open letter to Prime Minister Modi raising several issues including concerns over the menace of mob lynching. In reply 62 other luminaries have written another open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing astonishment at 49 self-styled "guardians" and "conscience keepers" of the nation and of democratic values who have once again expressed selective concern and demonstrated a clear political bias and motive.

    The signatories of the fresh letter include-

    CBFC chief Prasoon Joshi, actors Kangana Ranaut, Pallavi Joshi, Manoj Joshi, folk singer Malini Awasthi, dancer Sonal Mansingh and filmmakers Madhur Bhandarkar and Vivek Agnihotri.

    The other signatories are personalities from diverse fields.
    The signatories to the "open letter" have, in the past, kept silent when tribals and the marginalised have become victims of Naxal terror, they have kept silent when separatists have issued dictates to burn schools in Kashmir, they have kept silent when the demand for dismembering India, for making pieces of her -Tukde Tukde – were made, they kept silent when slogans chanted by terrorists and terror groups were echoed in some leading university campuses in the country.

    The public personalities write that PM Narendra Modi works with the vision of sabka sath sabka vikas sabka vishwas. They describe mob lynching as a social malady that Prime Minister has spoken out against time and again. They say the spirit of dissent has never been stronger than under the Modi government.
