Stop the politics, act now

UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav met martyr Hemraj's family on Monday (January 14) and promised to fulfill their demands. "We have already given Rs 25 lakh. Money is not a big thing but to support and respect the family is the duty of the government". He said the jawan's mother and wife were weak and in grief. "So this is the time to stand by the family," he said. But the family believes that the politicians are visting them for their own political interest. Hemraj's wife Dharamvati, mother Meena Devi and cousin Narender were on fast and had refused to take "even liquid" as they remained steadfast on their demand for getting back Hemraj's head, which was severed by Pakistani troops who raided Indian territory in Poonch sector on January 8.
