As the Lok Sabha debated ‘Operation Sindoor’ , Aishanya Dwivedi, the wife of Pahalgam terror attack victim Shubham Dwivedi, demanded ‘martyr’ status for all 26 victims of the horrific incident.
She also accused political leaders of undermining the gravity of the April 22 attack this year and reminded them that “terrorists didn’t ask for anyone’s caste or political party — they attacked Indians”.
“It’s been three months since the attack (Pahalgam terror attack) and only now the matter is finally being addressed in Parliament,” Aishanya told PTI.
“I’ve spent the entire day hoping that something concrete will come out of today’s discussions (in parliament) for the 26 martyrs, their families, and the widows left behind,” she said.
The Lok Sabha on Monday took up a special discussion on India’s ‘strong, successful and decisive Operation Sindoor in response to the terror attack in Pahalgam”.
“A tragedy of such magnitude, and it’s through ‘Operation Sindoor’ that it’s being acknowledged,” she said, adding, “We’re still fighting for recognition (martyr status)”.
