New Delhi: Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi on Saturday paid tributes to the soldiers who laid down their lives in the cowardly Pulwama terror attack and said that the nation will always be indebted to them.

“Their supreme sacrifice remains eternal. We shall never forget,” he added.
LoP Rahul Gandhi also took to social media and said, “My heartfelt tributes to our brave soldiers who were martyred in the terrorist attack in Pulwama in 2019. The nation will forever remain indebted to them for their supreme sacrifice in the defence of Bharat Mata.”
