BJP National President addresses ‘Mashal Rally’ & lights ‘Vijay Deep’

The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) marked the 25th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas with a series of nationwide events honouring the bravery and sacrifice of Indian soldiers. On the evening of July 25, 2024, a grand event was held at Central Park, Connaught Place, New Delhi, where BJP National President Shri JP Nadda addressed a gathering of young individuals and participated in a Mashal March. He emphasised the significance of Kargil Vijay Diwas, reflecting on the victory achieved on July 26, 1999, when the Indian Army reclaimed the nation’s territory with unparalleled bravery.

Shri JP Nadda, accompanied by BJYM National President Shri Tejasvi Surya, led the Mashal March from Central Park. The march, symbolizing the spirit of patriotism, saw enthusiastic participation from the youth. After the march, Shri JP Nadda lit the ‘Vijay Deep’, a symbolic lamp that remained lit for 25 hours, commemorating 25 years of Kargil Vijay Diwas and honouring the ultimate sacrifice made by the brave soldiers.

During the event, BJP National General Secretary Shri Sunil Bansal, National Secretary Shri Manjinder Singh Sirsa, Delhi BJP President Shri Virendra Sachdeva and Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha National President Shri Tejasvi Surya along with other party leaders and officials were present on the stage.

Speaking to the Karyakartas Shri Nadda expressed his pride in participating in this historic event. The BJP National President noted that not many people are aware that during the Kargil War, Shri Narendra Modi was the BJP in-charge of North Indian states. As a representative of the BJP, he visited Kargil to congratulate the soldiers and conveyed that the entire nation stood with the Bravehearts. The then Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee also affirmed that the martyrdom of any soldier belonged not only to their family or region but to the entire country, and their last rites would be conducted with full state honours.

BJP National President highlighted that during the UPA government when the then Defence Minister was asked why good roads were not constructed in border areas, the response was that there were insufficient funds to address the issue. During the previous government, army trucks in hilly areas had to navigate through one-way traffic. However, in the past 10 years, under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the army has been provided with double-lane roads connecting to the border. Now, the army can reach from Arunachal Pradesh to Ladakh quickly.

Shri Nadda said under the Congress government, there was a shortage of fighter planes and helicopters and no new purchases were made. Bulletproof equipment was also lacking. Today, however, India not only manufactures its own bulletproof gear but also exports it to other countries. India now produces fighter aircraft and helicopters domestically. This is a testament to India’s development. If Pakistan tries to provoke incidents like those in Uri and Pulwama, it will receive a strong response through surgical and air strikes.
