THOUSANDS BID TEARFUL FAREWELL TO VALIANT FIGHTER PRADEEP SINGH RAWAT AT RISHIKESH

The body of handsome young braveheart, a fighter with valour to the core, Pradeep Singh Rawat who sacrificed his precious life at the age of of mere 26 years was brought to his home in Rishikesh on 13th August with full state honours by the officers and jawans of Indian Army from the Uri Sector of Jammu and Kashmir where he was martyred in the line of duty valiantly fighting the enemy forces.

Hundreds of thousands of youths, students, men and women marched hailing the martyred soldier raising Pradeep Singh Rawat amar rahe and Pakistan Murdabad slogans during the day, following the Army truck.

The crowd was uncontrollable, angry and badly furious against Pakistan repeatedly raising slogans slamming it for its continued misadventures inside India territories demanding, teaching it a stringent lesson.

After the young martyr’s body was handed over to his traumatised and anguished parents there were literally tears in the eyes of thousands of the people who accompanied the Army truck carrying Pradeep’s body.

After the pious rituals the body of this warrior was kept for the last Darshan’s of the people to pay their respectful floral tributes and homage and thereafter confined to flames amid unstoppable tears rolling down the eyes of his parents, near and dear ones and all those present at the cremation.

This was the third martydom in Rishikesh in just a week’s time, the two earlier being of young bravehearts who sacrificed themselves at Gurez sector of J&K i. e. 26 year old Mandip Singh Rawat of Kotdwar, Pauri Garhwal district and 27 year old H. S. Pokhriyal of Rishikesh, both belonging to Garhwal Rifles.

There was a sea of infinite human beings in their last rights as well. It’s really shocking and anguishing to note that lots of young soldiers and officers of Indian Army are being martyred at the LOC and Kashmir in cross exchange of fire while fighting the dreaded Pak sponsered terrorists and in the arbitrary firing from Pakistan.

In an interview to the news agency ANI the grief stricken father of martyred Hamir Singh Pokhriyal of Garhwal Rifles had appealed to the government to go inside the Pak territory and avenge the martydom of brave young soldiers who are constantly losing their precious lives.

He said: though he is proud of his son’s valour and sacrifice for the country in the line of duty but now time has arrived when the Indian side should teach Pakistan a befitting lesson once for all as about 400 soldiers and officers of the Indian Army have laid down their precious lives for the nation during the last few years. He questioned: after all how long will the Pakistan’s misadventure against India continue?
