MATHURA, May 25: The invitation extended to Nawaz Sharif for Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony has not gone down well with the widow of martyred Indian soldier Hemraj, who on Sunday demanded that the Pakistan premier either bring back her husband's head or condemn the barbarous killing.
"Sharif should should either bring the head of my husband or should publicly condemn the barbarous act of Pakistani soldiers who had beheaded my husband," Dharmvati, the widow of Hemraj, said on phone.
Lance Naik Hemraj was killed and beheaded by Pakistani soldiers on January 8 last year in Poonch sector of Jammu & Kashmir.
"In fact Modi should not have invited Sharif. I had voted for BJP since Modi in his election speech in Mathura, not only condemned the inaction of Manmohan government in the matter but had even challenged Pakistan then," she said, adding the BJP government's invite to Sharif is an "insult" to the sacrifice of a soldier.
Asking why India has not taken revenge for the act so far, she claimed, "Gen VK Singh had then even promised to take revenge".
Dharmavati is planning to go on fast from Monday to protest Sharif's presence in the country.
"I would go on fast from May 26 and will remain on fast as long as Sharif will be in India. If he does not regret the act of his soldiers, it would be deemed that he has not changed," she said. |
