Dear Chander,
Here, are the links of the media coverage of the PM at the India Gate, paying tribute to the honoured dead and heroes of Kargil, the first time the UPA Government has done so, after taking power on 2004.
The Hindu Online, July 26, 2009– India remembers valiant Kargil Heroes on victory anniversary
TOI Online, July 26, 2009 – 10 Years of Kargil: PM pays Tribute to Martyrs
Indian Express Online, July 26, 2009 – PM pays tribute to Kargil Martyrs
The credit for this goes to the campaign carried out by IESM for the proper observance of this day across the entire nation, both by the people and the powers that be. The excellent articles written by Lt Gen Vijai Oberoi, Maj Gen Surjit Singh and others have, indeed, made the government to observe the Kargil Diwas in a fitting manner.
The IESM has this additional feather in its cap and has done all of us Veterans, the Defence Forces and the Nation, proud. Well done and keep up the good work. God Bless you all.
Regards and best wishes
Captain Christopher LN D'Silva, Indian Navy (Retd)
