Our brave soldiers are the true sentinels of the country’s pride and honour: Chief Minister Dr. Yadav
Bhopal: Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that our brave soldiers are the true sentinels of the country’s pride and honour. Our three armies are always ready to protect the country’s borders by staying within limits. The Kargil war of 1999 has been the most challenging war till date. The enemy had infiltrated the country’s border by deceit and attacked by hiding at high places. But in this challenging war that lasted for more than 60 days, our army made the seemingly impossible task possible with its manliness and valour. During the Kargil war, we were getting to hear new heroic tales every day. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Late Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the brave soldiers faced every difficult challenge and drove away the enemy.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav was addressing the programme organised at Sainik School Rewa on the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas on Saturday. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav paid floral tribute at the Shaheed Smarak and paid homage to the martyrdom of the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the protection of the country.

Vidya Devi, wife of Gunner Shri Chhote Lal Singh, who sacrificed his life in Kargil war and Smt. Shyamkali Devi, wife of Naik Shri Kalu Prasad, with shawl and coconut.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that our country has become strong under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. This is the golden period of the country. Today our army is capable of killing enemies outside the borders of our country like America and Israel. Through surgical strike, return of Wing Commander Abhinandan and Operation Sindoor, the country has told that if the incidents of terrorism do not stop, we will kill them inside their homes. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that the valour and valour of the army has made every citizen of the country proud. While discussing the contribution of Sainik School, Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that it is a matter of pride for us that today both the heads of the country’s Army and Navy are sons of Vindhya and their foundation has been laid in Sainik School. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that people who sacrifice their lives for the country are very virtuous. The true tribute to these brave martyrs would be to dedicate oneself to the country with full devotion and contribute.
