NEW DELHI, March 21: Minister of State in PMO Dr Jitendra Singh said that the nation was eternally indebted and no award or prize could ever repay for the supreme sacrifice of brave hearts like our martyrs.
He was speaking after meeting the parents of Martyr Capt Tushar Mahajan who sacrificed his life in a counter-militancy operation early last year. He said that it was because of these young soldiers that we all were able to carry on with our daily routine in safe environs.
“These youngsters stay awake when we sleep, they remain empty stomach when we eat and they lay down their life so that we can remain alive,” said Dr Singh. Capt Tushar’s parents were in Delhi to receive Shaurya Chakra (posthumous) on behalf of their son.
Dev Raj Gupta thanked Dr Jitendra Singh for all the timely and prompt assistance provided by him following the sudden demise of Capt Tushar, in arranging the instant Visa and travel documents for Tushar’s elder brother who lives abroad, so that he could reach Udhampur to attend the last rites of Tushar.
In response, Dr Jitendra Singh said, nothing was enough to honour the memory of Capt Tushar nor could there be enough of consolation for the parents who have lost their son. (UNI)
