“We need to be like our soldiers; have the same discipline and integrity. All of us need to be like them and work for the country. If the borders are being guarded by the soldiers, it is our duty to maintain peace and harmony within the country and walk on the path of development and that would be the right tribute the soldiers we are so proud of,” Singh said, in his Kargil Vijay Diwas message to the country.
