During the 27th Kargil Vijay Diwas ceremony in Dras, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said there is no distinction between the Pakistani army and its militants, labeling terrorism a state policy.
The 27th Kargil Vijay Diwas was observed on 26th July in the town of Dras, a frontline area in the Kargil district of Jammu and Kashmir. The ceremony commemorated the Indian Army’s victory over Pakistani infiltrators in 1999. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh addressed the gathering and made a stark statement regarding Pakistan’s security apparatus. He declared that the Pakistani military and its militant groups are indistinguishable, asserting that terrorism is an integral part of Pakistan’s state policy. The remarks reinforce India’s position that Pakistan’s armed forces support and facilitate militant activities along the Line of Control.
