PM Modi pays homage to Kargil war heroes, warns Pakistan over terror

Published

On the 25th anniversary of India’s victory in the Kargil War, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid homage to the war heroes at the Kargil War Memorial in Drass on Friday.

Modi praised the valour of Indian soldiers and condemned Pakistan’s continued attempts to weaken India through terrorism and proxy warfare, in reference to rhe increasing terror attacks in the Jammu region.

“Pakistan has failed in all its wicked attempts in the past, but it has not learned from its history,” Modi said. He warned supporters of terrorism that their efforts would be met with a strong response. “Today, I am speaking from a place where the masters of terror can hear my voice directly. I want to tell these patrons of terrorism that their wicked intentions will never succeed.”

He said a befitting reply will be given to the enemy by India’s brave jawans. Modi laid a wreath at the Drass War Memorial to honour the officers and soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice during the 1999 conflict.

The Kargil War, also known as Operation Vijay, was a nearly three-month-long battle fought on the icy heights of Kargil in Ladakh, culminating in India’s victory over Pakistan. In addition to honouring the Kargil War heroes, Modi addressed criticisms of the government’s Agnipath scheme, which aims to reform the Indian Army by introducing a younger, fitting workforce.

Modi defended the scheme, emphasising its goal to modernise the army and maintain its readiness for future conflicts. He said the people of the country had utmost faith in the Army and its soldiers. He criticised the Opposition for politicising the issue, and accused them of undermining national security and weakening the Army through corruption.

“The Agnipath scheme is a necessary reform,” Modi asserted, highlighting the scheme’s importance in enhancing the operational capability of the Indian Army. His comments reflect a broader push for military modernisation and a response to Opposition criticism of the scheme.

Indian-origin chef Depinder Chhibber is making a much-anticipated return to MasterChef Australia for its 17th season, joining a star-studded lineup of returning contestants. Known for her delicate Indian flavors and calm presence, Depinder previously won hearts in MasterChef Australia 13 and is now set to compete once more under the guidance of judges Andy Allen, Poh Ling-Yeow, Jean-Christophe Novelli, and Sofia Levin.

Adelaide was struck by tragedy as Pakistani-origin cricketer Junaid Zafar Khan collapsed and died on the pitch during a local turf cricket match amid soaring temperatures. The incident occurred over the weekend during a match between Old Concordians and Prince Alfred Old Collegians at Concordia College, Adelaide.

Death on the pitch due to extreme heat

Junaid Zafar Khan, who moved to Australia from Pakistan in 2013, was batting for Old Concordians when he suddenly collapsed. At the time, the temperature had reportedly reached 41.7 degrees Celsius. Paramedics attempted to revive him, but their efforts were unsuccessful.

His club, Old Collegians, expressed their grief in a statement:

“We are deeply saddened by the passing of a valued member of the Old Concordians’ Cricket Club, who tragically suffered a medical episode while playing on the Concordia College oval today. Despite the best efforts of paramedics, he sadly did not survive. Thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with his family, friends, and teammates during this difficult time.”

Tributes pour in for Junaid Zafar Khan

Junaid, who worked in the tech industry after moving to Adelaide, was remembered fondly by his friends and colleagues. His close friend Hasan Anjum described his passing as a “big loss.”

“It’s a huge loss, he was destined for very big things in his life,” Anjum told The Advertiser.

Heatwave triggers safety concerns in cricket

The Adelaide Turf Cricket Association (ATCA) bylaws require matches to be canceled if temperatures exceed 42°C during play. However, under special playing regulations, games can continue when temperatures are up to 40°C.

Junaid’s death has sparked a debate over heat guidelines in Australian cricket, with growing calls for a review of existing regulations to prioritize player safety.
