On the 25th anniversary of the Kargil War, PM Modi paid tribute to martyrs in Drass, Ladakh, and defended the Agnipath scheme amidst opposition criticism. He accused detractors of historically neglecting soldiers and highlighted his government's achievements, including implementing One Rank One Pension (OROP) and allocating over 125,000 crore rupees to ex-servicemen. Modi criticized past governments for failing to build a war memorial or provide adequate bulletproof jackets and addressed rumors about the Agnipath scheme's pension implications.
