MATHURA/BALLIA, Sept 30:
After surgical strikes by the Indian Army on terrorist camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, the mother of one of the Uri attack martyrs today questioned whether all the men who killed her son have died.
Somari Devi, mother of martyr Rajesh Kumar Singh, when told by her another son Vikesh about the Indian Army’s action against terrorist camps in PoK, asked, “ Are all the men who killed my son dead?”
Tears rolled out from her eyes when she heard the affirmative answer, the 72-year-old Somari said now relief has come to her. She said, “Though my son has gone, our brave soldiers have avenged his death.’’
Vikesh, brother of Rajesh, said he salutes this action of Indian Army and his grief has come to an end. Death rituals would be held on October 5 here.
Meanwhile, hailing the surgical strikes by India on terror launch pads across the LoC, the wife of martyred soldier Hemraj, said the action was a “befitting reply” to Pakistan.
“The strikes by India have instilled confidence among soldiers and the common man. But if such a step was taken earlier, we would not have lost lives of soldiers in Uri,” Dharmvati said here yesterday.
She said the Government should not show any leniency towards Pakistan-sponsored terrorists.
Lance Naik Hemraj was killed and beheaded by Pakistani soldiers on January 8, 2013 in Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
India had carried out the surgical strikes across LoC on Wednesday night, inflicting “significant casualties” on terrorists and those who were trying to support them.
The sudden action by the Army came 11 days after the terror strike by Pakistan-based JeM on an Indian Army camp in Uri in Kashmir which left 19 Indian soldiers dead.
Wife of another martyred soldier Samod Kumar, Seema Chaudhary said she would have been more happy if such a strike was carried out earlier.
Her husband had died in Jammu in October last year.
Kamlesh Devi, wife of martyred soldier Soran Singh, who died in the Kargil War, demanded more stern action against the terrorists.
“If such an action had been taken earlier, it would have boosted the morale of the Army and the citizens of the country as well,” said Ravita, whose husband Babloo Kumar was martyred in July. (Agencies)
