Speaking of paying tribute on this occasion, our Prime Minister Narendra Modi too took to the micro-blogging site to share some pictures of his visit to Kargil during the conflict and his interaction with the soldiers. In his tweet, PM Modi wrote, "During the Kargil War in 1999, I had the opportunity to go to Kargil and show solidarity with our brave soldiers. This was the time when I was working for my Party in J&K as well as Himachal Pradesh. The visit to Kargil and interactions with soldiers are unforgettable." Stay tuned!
