Want to see his body, say grief-stricken BSF jawan's family
May 02, 2017
Relatives of Paramjit Singh demand to see his body, which is in a coffin, "Whose body is this? It is all behind this box! We are not being shown the body? Why?"
The body of the slain hero has been brought to his hometown in Tarn Taran and will be cremated with full honors.
Mourning the demise of their beloved brother Naib Subedar Paramjit
Singh, whose body was brutally mutilated by the Pakistani Army in
Krishna Ghati, the family has called on the Centre to assure justice and
go to war with Pakistan if they have to.
"The Centre should take
strict action. If war is the solution, then we should just go to war
with Islamabad and finish the issue once and for all. By any chance if
the issue can be sorted out with dialogue then even that should be
tried," said the brother of the slain jawan.
"He built this house
and was supposed to shift here on May 10. Instead of him, now his body
will enter into house. We are very proud of him and would never forget
his sacrifice," his brother added pointing towards the newly build
house, in which Singh was suppose to shift.
"I am proud of my
father for being declared a martyr. My father sacrificed his life for
the country, and I'm proud of him," said Simrandeep, Singh's elder
daughter.
