On Kargil Vijay Diwas, PM Modi fiercely targeted neighboring country Pakistan from Drass in Ladakh. He said that we not only won the war in Kargil, but we also gave a wonderful demonstration of truth, patience and strength. You know that India was striving for peace at that time. In return, Pakistan once again showed its distrustful face. But lies and terror were defeated in front of truth. Friends, all the nefarious attempts made by Pakistan earlier have failed. However, Pakistan has not learned anything from its history, it is trying to keep itself relevant with the help of proxy war through terrorism. But today when I am speaking from a place where the masters of terror are able to hear this voice directly, I want to tell these patrons of terrorism that their nefarious intentions will never succeed.
Prime Minister Modi paid tribute to the martyrs
On the 25th Kargil Vijay Diwas, PM Modi paid tribute to the heroes of the Kargil war at the war memorial in Drass. During this, he started his address by saying that our voice should be heard even across the border. PM Modi saluted the brave martyrs of the Kargil war, their mothers, brave women and all their families. The Prime Minister said that today this great land of Ladakh is witnessing the completion of 25 years of Kargil Vijay. Kargil Vijay Diwas tells us that the sacrifices made for the nation are immortal. Days, months, years, centuries pass, winters also pass, seasons also change but the names of those who put their lives at stake to protect the nation remain immortal.

I salute all the brave soldiers- Prime Minister
PM Modi said that this country will always be indebted to the brave heroes of our army. It is my good fortune that during the Kargil war, I was among our soldiers as a common citizen. Today, when I have come to the land of Kargil again, those memories have naturally been refreshed in my mind. I remember how our army carried out such a difficult war operation at such a height. I salute all those brave soldiers who brought victory to the country. I salute those martyrs who made the supreme sacrifice to protect the motherland in Kargil.
PM Modi said- the enemy will get a befitting reply
The Prime Minister said that our brave soldiers will give a befitting reply to the enemy with full force. Be it Ladakh or Jammu and Kashmir, India will defeat every challenge that comes in the way of development. In a few days, on August 5, it will be 5 years since Article 370 was removed. Today Kashmir is talking about a new future, talking about big dreams. Jammu and Kashmir is being recognized for organizing important meetings of global summits like G-20. Along with infrastructure development, the tourism sector is also developing rapidly in Kashmir and Leh Ladakh. After decades, a cinema hall has opened in Kashmir. For the first time after three and a half decades, a Tazia procession has been taken out in Srinagar. Our heaven on earth is moving rapidly towards peace and harmony. Today a new wave of development is also rising in Ladakh. The construction of the Sinkun La tunnel has been completed, due to which Ladakh will remain connected to the country throughout the year in every season.
'Ladakh's budget increased to 6 thousand crores'
PM Modi said that I remember that during the time of Corona, many of our people from Kargil region were stuck in Iran, I made a lot of efforts at personal level to bring them back. They were brought from Iran and lodged in Jaisalmer, when the report came completely satisfactory from health point of view, they were sent to their home. We are satisfied that we were able to save the lives of many people. In the last 5 years, we have increased the budget of Ladakh from 1100 crores to 6 thousand crores. That is, there has been an increase of almost 6 times. Today this money is being spent in the development of the people of Ladakh, it is being spent in increasing facilities here, roads, electricity, water, education, power supply, employment, everywhere the scene and landscape in Ladakh is also changing.
Defence reform given priority – Prime Minister
Prime Minister Modi said that work is also underway on the 13 km long Zojila tunnel, its construction will also enhance all-weather connectivity on National Highway No. 1. We have set extraordinary targets for development in border areas. The Border Roads Organisation has worked at an unprecedented pace to achieve such targets. The BRO has completed more than 300 infrastructure projects in the last 3 years, ranging from development work in Ladakh to tunnel work in the Northeast. Today's global conditions are different from before, so our army should be modern not only in weapons and equipment but also in working style and systems. Therefore, the country needed major reforms in the defense sector for decades, the army was also demanding such a thing but unfortunately it was not given much importance earlier.
Mention of Agnipath scheme on Kargil Vijay Diwas
PM Modi said that 25% of research development in defence has been reserved for the private sector. India's defence production has now crossed Rs 1.25 lakh crore. India was once known for importing weapons. Our forces have made a list of more than 5 thousand weapons and military equipment and have decided that these 5 thousand items will no longer be imported. I congratulate the army leadership for this. I also want to appreciate India's Arms Forces for reforms in the defence sector. Our forces have taken many bold decisions in the past years. The reason for the bold decision of the army is also the Agneepath scheme. The average age of Indian soldiers being more than the global average has been a cause of concern for all of us. Therefore, this issue has been raised in many committees for years, but the will to solve this challenge related to the security of the country was not shown earlier.
Prime Minister's strong attack on the opposition
PM Modi also attacked the opposition. He said that perhaps the mentality of some people is such that the army means saluting the leaders and doing parades, for us the army means the faith of 140 crore people. It is the guarantee of peace of 140 crore countrymen, the army means the guarantee of the security of the country's borders. Through the Agneepath scheme, the country fulfilled this important dream. The goal of Agneepath is to make the army young, to keep them constantly fit for war. Unfortunately, such a sensitive subject related to national security has been made a subject of politics. Some people are doing politics on this reform of the army for their personal benefit. These are the same people who weakened our forces by committing scams of thousands of crores of rupees in the forces, these are the same people who wanted the Air Force to never get modern fighter jets
PM Modi told the truth about Agnipath scheme
PM Modi said that the truth is that the strength of the country will increase with the Agneepath scheme, the capable youth of the country will also come forward to serve the motherland. The private sector has also come forward to give priority to Agniveers. What has happened to the thinking of some people, they are spreading the misconception that the government has come up with this scheme to save pension money. Someone tell me whether the people who will be recruited today in Modi's rule will be given pension today itself. If they have to be given pension, then it will be given after 30 years. At that time Modi will be 105 years old and today he will be abused for this. What argument are you giving.
