BJP leaders recalled that, Hony. Sub Maj Kamal Singh was a leading member of the assault team that captured the strategically important Tololing Peak during the operations of 12-13 June 1999 in Drass. He again led the attacking team during the successful assault on Point 5140 on 19 June 1999. The leaders also acknowledged the remarkable service of his father, Subedar Parmatam Singh, who fought in the 1962 and 1971 wars.

He said the victory at Kargil reflected the indomitable spirit, discipline and patriotism of the Indian Armed Forces, who defended every inch of the nation's territory despite extremely challenging conditions.
He added that the courage of heroes like Hony. Sub Maj Kamal Singh serves as an inspiration for every Indian and that the nation will forever remain indebted to its soldiers and their families. He also said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the welfare, dignity and empowerment of the Armed Forces and ex-servicemen have remained a national priority.
Ch. Vikram Randhawa said that the sacrifices of Kargil heroes can never be repaid and must continue to inspire the younger generation to place the nation above everything else. He urged the youth to serve the nation with dedication, discipline and patriotism while always respecting the sacrifices made by the Armed Forces.
