New Delhi: “We can go to any extreme to maintain the honour and dignity of the country… if that includes crossing the LoC, we are ready to do that,” said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday on the occasion of Kargil Vijay Divas.

He called upon the civilians to be ready to support the soldiers as India is ready to cross the Line of Control (LoC) to maintain its honour and dignity.
