BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh today paid a rich tribute to the Army jawans who sacrificed their life during the Kargil operation and said that the nation would always remain indebted to them for protecting their motherland.

Addressing a gathering in Ramban district, Chugh said the Kargil operation has completed 25 years but the nefarious designs of Pakistan are still fresh in the minds of the people.

Paying a glorious tribute to the then Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, Chugh said the BJP has always stood to protect the national interest whereas other parties led by the Abdullahs and Mufits have been compromising the national interest in favour of Pakistan.

He said the Yuva Morcha of the BJP would carry the "Vijay Jyoti"to all parts o the J&K to observe the Vijay Diwas and serve a warning to Pakistan against plotting subversive designs on the Indian soil.

Chugh said under the Modi government adequate infrastructure has been built for the Army and the security forces so that they can take on the inimical forces head-on.

He said the prime minister, by visiting Kargil, has served a warning to Pakistan and at the same time has assured the jawans on the border that the nation stood firmly with them.
