To celebrate ‘Surgical Strike Day’ is for PM Modi to visit slain BSF jawan’s family: Arvind Kejriwal

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Friday said the “best way” to celebrate the ‘Surgical Strike Day’ would be for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit the family of a BSF soldier, who was hacked to death by Pakistan troops earlier this week. Earlier in the day, Kejriwal paid a visit to Sonipat, Haryana to meet the family of Narendra Singh, who was killed by Pakistani troops along the international border (IB) near Jammu. He also announced that his government will amend a rule on giving ex-gratia of Rs 1 crore and a job to the next of kin provided the martyr’s permanent address at the time of joining service was in Delhi.
The chief minister informed that Kumar had joined forces in 1988, during which time Harayana was mentioned as his permanent address. In this case, he was informed that for the past 8-10 years, Kumar and his family had been residing in Delhi. “We strongly condemn this cowardly act. Pakistan killed him in brutal manner and tortured him before death…There is growing anger not just in this village or Haryana, but across the country for how long will Pakistan keep killing our soldiers like this,” he said.
