He distributed sweets among the Indian Army soldiers. He also laid a wreath at the Kargil War Memorial and paid tribute to the army personnel who lost their lives here in 1999.
Interacting with the soldiers, Modi said, “India has always seen war as the last resort but peace also can’t be achieved without strength. If anyone dares look at us with evil eyes, our three-armed forces will give a befitting reply.”
