Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday remembered Captain Vikram Batra, who died during Kargil war and was awarded the Param Vir Chakra posthumously, on his death anniversary.
Gandhi also wished former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on his 37th birthday.
"Today we remember Captain Vikram Batra, recipient of the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest award for valour, who was martyred this day in 1999, during the Kargil War. I salute this brave son of India," he said in a tweet.
Wishing Dhoni, he tweeted: "Happy Birthday to M S Dhoni, India's "Captain Cool"! Here's wishing you much happiness, good health and success in the years ahead. @msdhoni."
