**Yogi Adityanath Hails Indian Army’s Swift Retaliation After Pulwama Attack at Kargil Vijay Diwas Event**

**KARGIL, U.P. -** Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, speaking at the ‘Kargil Vijay Shaheed Diwas-2025’ event at the Kargil Shaheed Smriti Vatika on Saturday, lauded the Indian Army’s swift and decisive response following the Pulwama attack. He asserted that the army took just 22 minutes to retaliate, obliterating terrorist camps within Pakistan and forcing the nation to its knees.

“After Pakistan and its terrorists claimed the lives of 22 innocent people in Pulwama, the Indian Army took no more than 22 minutes to teach Pakistan a lesson,” stated CM Adityanath. He emphasized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vow to make those responsible for the Pulwama attack pay a heavy price.

Adityanath further claimed that Pakistan, overwhelmed by the Indian Army’s prowess, sought refuge with the United States. Despite facing multiple adversaries, India prevailed, compelling Pakistan to surrender.

The Chief Minister also addressed the dangers of divisive politics, highlighting the importance of unity for a strong and prosperous India. He accused certain political factions of using family ties and caste divisions to undermine the social fabric of the country. “We have no shortage of warriors, splendor, and intellect, but some people have worked to divide the country for their own interests,” he said, urging the public to avoid such divisions and work together to build a “Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat” (One India, Great India).

Adityanath stated that the message of Kargil Vijay Diwas is to remember the sacrifices of the brave soldiers who laid down their lives.

On this occasion, CM Adityanath announced that the state government provides ₹50 lakh in assistance to the families of soldiers martyred in war or while safeguarding the borders. He also assured that a member of that family will be provided with a job. A grand memorial, institution, or road will be named after the soldier.

The event served as a tribute to the valor of the Indian Army and a reminder of India’s victory over Pakistan during the Kargil War.
