The event started off with a 17th century Shabad written by Guru Gobind Singh “ Deh Shiva bar Mohe “  .The organizer of the event Mrs. Jaya Peesapaty , in her address said that as she was unable to attend Kargil Vijay Diwas in India this year , hence she had taken this initiation and  was happy to celebrate Kargil’s victory and pay tributes to our soldiers , living miles away from motherland. As a radio presenter hosting a talk show called Jai Hind dedicated to Armed Forces on Tori radio , Mrs. Jaya had shared her experiences of talking to brave officers  like  Major D P Singh , Captain Naveen Nagappa  . Sikh temple president, secretary and other members had shared their views about our brave soldiers and victory . There was a common viewpoint expressed by all the speakers that our soldiers should be given high regard and respect as in the western countries hence more awareness programmes need to be taken up . All the attendees then paid their tributes to the brave soldiers by lighting a candle and everybody dispersed with a promising note of taking this initiative further in Hong Kong .
