Kargil War: Rahul Gandhi pays tributes to ‘fighters’ who made ‘supreme sacrifice’

“We will always remember this supreme sacrifice of you and your families for the security of the country,” the Congress leader posted on his official Twitter handle about Kargil War soldiers.



NEW DELHI — Rahul Gandhi, Congress leader and Member of Parliament, on Monday paid tributes to the ‘fighters’ who laid down their lives during the Kargil War of 1999.



“Heartfelt tribute to every fighter who laid down his life in the dignity of our tricolour. We will always remember this supreme sacrifice of you and your families for the security of the country. Jai Hind. #KargilVijayDiwas,” the Congress leader posted on his official Twitter handle.

Earlier, Rahul also described the landslides in Himachal Pradesh as very sad. He said, “The news of the damage caused by landslides in Himachal Pradesh is very sad. My condolences to the families of the deceased. I wish the injured a speedy recovery.”



Rahul Gandhi also appealed to the Congress workers to help in rescue work. “Congress comrades, please cooperate in relief and rescue work,” he asked.

Pertinently, Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated on 26 July every year in honour of the Kargil War’s Heroes. This day is celebrated in the Kargil sector and the national capital New Delhi, where the Prime Minister of India pays homage to the soldiers at Amar Jawan Jyoti at India Gate every year. Functions are also organized all over the country to commemorate the contributions of the armed forces.



On July 26 in 1999, India successfully took command of the high outposts after the Kargil war was fought for more than 60 days and ended on 26 July 1999 with the Pakistani Army taking advantage of the melting snow and took command of the high outposts of India.



The Pakistani Army denied involvement in the war, claiming that it was caused by independent Kashmiri militant forces.



The Kargil war resulted in loss of life on both the sides and was ended when India regained control over the post and ejected the Pakistani Army out of the territory.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society.

The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr
