DRASS: Warning Pakistan that its nefarious designs in fuelling the proxy war will be crushed with full force by the Indian security forces, PM Narendra Modi on Friday said the "patrons of terrorism " across the border could hear his voice loud and clear from the heights of Kargil .
"Pakistan has not learnt any lessons from its past defeats and has continued to wage war in the garb of terrorism and proxy wars to stay relevant," Modi said, addressing the Kargil Vijay Diwas celebrations at Drass to mark the 25th anniversary of India's victory in the conflict.
"Today, I am speaking from a place where the patrons of terrorism can hear my voice. I want to tell them that their nefarious intentions will never succeed. Our brave soldiers will crush terrorism with full force. The enemy will get a befitting reply," he added. His remarks came amid a spike in terror attacks carried out in the Jammu region by Pakistan-backed outfits.
The PM said he was fortunate to be amidst the soldiers as a "common citizen" during the Kargil conflict in 1999. "Now, as I stand again on the sacred soil of Kargil, those memories have resurfaced about how our soldiers successfully carried out daunting operations at these heights. I salute the brave sons of the country," he said. India at that time was making all-out efforts to make peace but Pakistan indulged in duplicitous behaviour, with its soldiers crossing the Line of Control and entrenching themselves in fortified positions. "In Kargil, we not only won the war, but we also exhibited an incredible example of 'satya, sayam aur samarth' (truth, restraint and strength)," he said.
Stressing that India will defeat every challenge that comes in the way of development, be it in Ladakh or J&K, the PM said, "In a few days, on August 5, it will be five years since Article 370 was nullified. J&K is talking about a new future full of dreams." Along with infrastructure, the tourism sector is also growing rapidly in both Ladakh and J&K. "After decades, a cinema hall has opened in Kashmir. After 35 years, the Tazia procession was taken out in Srinagar for the first time," Modi said.
