New Delhi, July 26 (IBNS) : Paying tributes to the soldiers who had laid down their lives in the 1999 Kargil war, Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday expressed deep gratitude towards the Indian Armed Force personnel for their sacrifices in defending the country's sovereignty.

 “Remembering the valor and sacrifice of the armed forces in defending our borders. Their valour, sacrifice and spirit of ‘Nation above self’ continue to inspire an entire generation,” she said in a statement on the Kargil Vijay Divas. 

Gandhi paid homage to the jawans, JCOs and officers of the Indian Army who were martyred during the ‘Operation Vijay’, launched by India  to clear the Kargil sector of infiltration by the Pakistani soldiers.
