Guwahati: At least three widows of victims who perished in the 2019 terror attack in Pulwama staged a protest in Jaipur on Sunday over the Rajasthan government’s failure to keep its commitments.
Moreover, they asked Governor Kalraj Mishra for permission to commit suicide.
However, Rajasthan Minister Pratap Khachariyawas stated that the government is constantly present to offer all assistance possible to the families of the troops who died while performing their duties.
“We respect the widows and families of martyrs a lot. We have given all support and package to the family of martyrs. We are always there to provide all possible help,” Pratap Khachariyawas said.
The women protesters also claimed that police had abused them at their Saturday meeting with CM Ashok Gehlot.
BJP’s Rajya Sabha MP Kirodi Lal Meena who has been sitting on a dharna with the family members of the martyrs for the last few days said that the widows of martyrs were “insulted”.
“Yesterday’s incident was very shameful. Widows of martyrs were insulted. During their meeting with Guv, the widows told their problems after which Governor asked them to meet CM,” Meena said.
