Pakistan has not learnt any lessons from history: PM Modi on Kargil Vijay Diwas
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday delivered a strong warning to Pakistan, saying that the Indian Army will crush terror emanating from that country with full force while reminding it of its past defeats and failures.
“I speak from where the patrons of terrorism (across the de-factor border) can hear me loud and clear,” he said after paying homage to the soldiers killed in the Kargil war that was fought along a 170-km mountain frontier in the summer of 1999.
“And I want to tell them that their sinister plans will never succeed. Past attempts made by Pakistan have failed. But it has not learnt anything from history. It is trying to stay relevant through terrorism and proxy war.”
Relations between India and Pakistan have been at an all-time low as the two sides have not had any formal and sustained dialogue since the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
The PM’s comments came during his address at a ceremonial function held at the Kargil war memorial to mark the 25th anniversary of the war that began after the Pakistan army captured strategic heights on the Indian side of LoC a few months after the signing of the Lahore peace declaration in February.
