SRINAGAR: “In the coming 32 hours, I want you to avenge my son’s death,” father of slain soldier Aurangzeb demanded on Friday.
In a video that has gone viral, the grief-stricken father is heard squarely blaming Pakistan for the death of his son. An ex-serviceman himself, Aurangzeb’s father Hanif demanded that the terrorists responsible for the reprehensible act be killed to avenge his son’s murder.
“It is my request to you. In the coming 32 hours, I want you to avenge my son’s death. Kill those plundering Kashmir. They took my son, they took Kashmir’s son. I don’t know you defend us or state defends us, but we Kashmiris suffer,” Aurangzeb’s father told a jawan. “Kashmir is ours. We must not let Kashmir burn. We must weed out the goons who are destroying Kashmir.”
Replying to Hanif, the jawan said: “We are with you. And not for once think that we will let it pass. We won’t let it go. All the jawans of my team are Aurangzebs.”
Aurangzeb was part of several operations led by 44 Rashtriya Rifles, including the ones that eliminated Hizbul terrorist Sameer Tiger and Saddam Paddar.
