Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah says, "On the occasion of Vijay Diwas today, I would like to begin by remembering the services and sacrifices of our defence personnel... Our soldiers serve with dedication in challenging terrains. However, when they face legal challenges, whether related to service disputes, pension matters, or civilian complaints, they often encounter difficulties due to geographical distances, the dynamic nature of their deployments, and the specific constraints of military life... I appreciate the Jammu and Kashmir State Legal Services Authority for taking the initiative to amend the legal aid rules to include serving and retired defence personnel."

Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha says, "The Jammu and Kashmir Legal Services Authority and the National Legal Services Authority have launched four new schemes... Many people are benefiting from this. If we look at the figures, more than 12,000 people have benefited from the various assistance schemes of the Jammu and Kashmir Legal Services Authority in 2025. I believe that apart from the deprived sections, there are two other groups that need this—soldiers and members of the tribal community are parts of our country for whom whatever is done in terms of providing legal aid and ensuring justice is never enough."
