Srinagar, Aug 2: At Salani village in Mendhar, 250 kilometres from Srinagar, anger has overtaken grief at the home of rifleman Aurangzeb, killed by terrorists in south Kashmir on June 14, just when he was returning home from his formation to celebrate Eid.
The friends and family members of Rifleman Aurangzeb have come together at his home in Mendhar, to pray for him and remember him. They also pledged to carry forward his mission
Mohammad Kiramat and Mohammamd Taj are among 50 people who left lucrative jobs in Saudi Arabia to return permanently to Salani village, to join police and army for avenging the death of their friend and fellow villager Rifleman Aurangzeb.
"When we heard about the killing of brother Aurangzeb, we left Saudi Arabia the same day, and forcibly got ourselves relieved from the job. It can't be done on the spot, but we managed somehow. 50 youth from this village returned with me. The only mission is to avenge the death of Aurangzeb", said Mohammad Kiramat.
Rifle man Aurangzeb's brother, a serving army man, blames the terrorist handlers for the killings.
"We won't fear just because militants have issued a threat, militants are not responsible for doing this, but those handlers who are sitting in Kashmir and have given the orders to carry out such acts", said Mohammad Qasim.
"We will perform our duties as we have been doing, we will keep giving sacrifices for our country despite the threats, many of our brothers have been martyred, for them as well", said an SPO who didn't want to be named. |
