BJYM Celebrates 25th Anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas with Nationwide Tributes

The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) is marking the 25th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas with nationwide tributes on July 26. A series of events, including a grand Mashal Rally in all districts, will honor the sacrifices of the Indian armed forces personnel. Key figures like JP Nadda will participate.

The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) is set to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas with a slew of nationwide tributes celebrating the valour of Indian armed forces personnel. On July 26, 1999, the Indian Army secured a triumphant victory over Pakistan in the Kargil conflict, reclaiming the nation's sovereignty with unwavering courage and sacrifice. This Friday, BJYM will observe the silver jubilee of this significant triumph.

Under the guidance of BJYM National President Tejasvi Surya, a series of events have been planned to mark the occasion, according to a press release by the organization. A grand nationwide Mashal Rally is scheduled for July 25, spanning every organizational district, with a minimum of 2,500 dynamic young individuals set to participate in each district.

The Mashal Rally will commence at symbolic sites such as the homes of Kargil martyrs, Kargil veterans, and war memorials. These starting points pay tribute to the courage and sacrifice of the heroes. In each district, the Mashal Rally will conclude with the lighting of a 'Vijay Deep' at a prominent location. This symbolic lamp will remain lit for 25 hours, from the evening of July 25 to the evening of July 26, to commemorate 25 years of Vijay Diwas and honor the ultimate sacrifice of brave soldiers.

A major highlight will be the presence of BJP National President JP Nadda at a significant event in New Delhi, where he will participate in the Mashal Rally at India Gate alongside BJYM National President Tejasvi Surya, as announced by BJYM. This gesture underscores the party's profound respect and admiration for the sacrifices made by brave soldiers.

The celebrations will culminate in a public programme on the evening of July 26 at the 'Vijay Deep' location, where Kargil veterans will be honored by BJYM Karyakartas, recognizing their bravery and selflessness. The programme will feature cultural performances and motivational speeches by retired army officers and prominent public figures, celebrating the spirit of patriotism and valour.

National President of BJP Yuva Morcha Tejasvi Surya has urged all BJYM Karyakartas to organize these events with dedication and respect as a tribute to the valour of the Indian Army. 'Kargil Vijay Diwas is a day of immense pride for the entire country,' he stated. 'These celebrations will ignite the spirit of nationalism among the youth and foster a deep sense of pride and gratitude towards our armed forces. Several cabinet ministers will also be present at these events, honoring the memories of Kargil's heroes.'
