67th edition of ‘Mann Ki Baat’

Speaking at the 67th edition of ‘Mann Ki Baat’, which coincided with the 21st anniversary of ‘Kargil Vijay Diwas’, Prime Minister Modi had criticised Pakistan and said it undertook the misadventure with sinister plans to capture India’s land and to divert its ongoing internal conflicts.

He also said that Pakistan tried to backstab in response to India’s friendly endeavours. The Prime Minister had urged the youth to share stories of valour of soldiers during the Kargil war.

He also asked people to visit the website – www.gallantryawards.gov.in – saying they will get to know a lot about the braves and their valour.

“When you share these with friends, they will also get inspired,” he had said.
