Thiruvananthapuram, July 26 (UNI) Sharing an advertisement he published in July 1999, Kerala BJP President Rajeev Chandrasekhar today asserted that Kargil stands as a powerful reminder that no force can challenge India’s sovereignty.
“India’s victory in the Kargil War was a triumph of courage, strategy, and national will. Our soldiers reclaimed every inch of our land, battling intruders in the harshest terrain. Kargil stands as a powerful reminder that no force can break India’s spirit when its sovereignty is challenged,” Rajeev Chandrasekhar said in a post on ‘X.’
“This is an advertisement I published in July 1999, after our armed forces defeated Pakistan in the Kargil War. It still hangs framed in my office as a reminder of the courage and sacrifice of our soldiers who kept our nation safe.”
“At the height of the conflict, I was Chairman & CEO of BPL Mobile. Like many fellow Indians, I felt a deep sense of responsibility to support our jawans in whatever way I could.”
“We donated 10 satellite phones, 2,000 transistor radios, 300 colour TVs, and 60 cordless phones to the Army, across the frontlines and base hospitals. I also personally committed to covering all call charges until the end of the war so that soldiers could speak to their families from the front.”
“I will always remember the spirit of my team and the generosity of our customers, who contributed to the ‘Kargil Veer Sena’ fund. Every rupee was passed on to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund.”
“Pakistan was defeated by the bravery of our armed forces, who were strongly supported by the unity and resolve of Indians who stood firmly behind them.”
“We must #NeverForget that this victory came at great human cost and that behind every victory was a soldier’s sacrifice and his family’s grief.”
“Every year on this day, I visit the war memorial to remember and honour those who served and those who sacrificed.”
“Kargil Vijay Diwas – a day I never miss, a duty I always honor.”
