On the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday paid tribute to Indian soldiers who fought the Kargil war in 1999. Modi said in his “Mann ki Baat” radio programme, 'Twenty-one years ago on this day, our Army won the Kargil war.' “India was then trying to have cordial relations with Pakistan, but it is said that it is in the nature of the wicked to have enmity with everyone for no reason.” The prime minister said Pakistan undertook the “sinister misadventure” to capture Indian land and to divert attention from its internal problems. Earlier in the day, Modi had tweeted: 'On Kargil Vijay Diwas, we remember the courage and determination of our armed forces, who steadfastly protected our nation in 1999. Their valour continues to inspire generations.'
