Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 26 called out Pakistan’s support to proxy war in Jammu and Kashmir and said the enemy will be given a befitting reply. The remarks came in the backdrop of growing militant attacks in the Jammu region.
Pakistan has failed in all its nefarious attempts in the past. Pakistan, however, has not learnt from history. It is trying to keep itself relevant by supporting terrorism and proxy war. I am speaking from a place where the masters of terror can hear my voice directly — I want to tell these patrons of terrorism that their nefarious intentions will never succeed. Our soldiers will crush terrorism with full force and the enemy will be given a befitting reply,” Mr. Modi said.
The Prime Minister was speaking at the 25th anniversary of the 1999 Kargil war, which is observed as ‘Vijay Diwas’. He also paid homage to war heroes at the War Memorial, Drass, in Kargil district.
PM Modi recalled the Indian Army’s anti-enemy operations launched from the peaks of the Himalayas. “India wanted peace, but the enemy showed its dual face. Finally, falsehood was defeated. The victory in the Kargil war showed our commitment towards our nation and the valour of our brave forces. Our forces successfully executed the operation despite the extreme and challenging battle conditions,” he said.
