The echoes of bravery and sacrifice reverberate across the nation as we mourn the loss of five valiant soldiers in the despicable terror attack in Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir. Terrorists, identified as ‘Kashmir Tigers’ and affiliated with the notorious Jaish-e-Mohammad, cowardly ambushed an Indian Army convoy on the serene roads of Machedi-Kindli-Malhar, shattering the sanctity of peace.
In a heart-wrenching act of violence, grenades and gunfire rained down on our soldiers who stood guard, protecting our borders and our way of life. Among the fallen was a Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO), a leader who embodied courage and dedication till his last breath. Their sacrifice reminds us of the immense price paid by our armed forces, who selflessly defend our motherland against all odds.
The perpetrators of this heinous act, emboldened by their sinister agenda, claimed this attack as vengeance for their losses in Doda. Yet, their actions only strengthen our resolve to stand united against terror and uphold the spirit of our nation.
As we stand in solidarity with the families of our fallen heroes, our hearts ache with profound grief and gratitude for their indomitable spirit. Their sacrifice serves as a beacon of hope and resilience, inspiring a nation to remain steadfast in the face of adversity.
This terror attack in Kathua is the fifth in a string of recent attacks in the Jammu region, serves as a stark reminder of the relentless threats posed by terrorism.
As we mourn our heroes, let us pledge to support our armed forces and their families. Their unwavering dedication embodies the true spirit of India – resilient, courageous, and unwavering in the face of adversity.
