Today is the 22nd anniversary of the Kargil War that was fought between India and Pakistan. On this day, 26 July in 1999, India had successfully completed Operation Vijay and recaptured the Indian territories from Pakistani intruders. Since then, the day is celebrated as Kargil Vijay Diwas in the country. The sacrifice of the soldiers is remembered on this day and several events are organised by individuals and organisations to commemorate it. Political leaders are also marking the Kargil Vijay Diwas by remembering the sacrifice of Indian soldiers. Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted an excerpt about Kargil Diwas from an episode of Mann Ki Baat which aired last year. He also said that the sacrifice and valour of those who lost their lives in Kargil protecting India.

We remember their sacrifices.

We remember their valour.
