“The jawans have made without equal sacrifice for the rustic. Let everybody pay their respects to them. But there must not be any politics over their deaths,” said Mita, wife of slain soldier Bablu Santra, as she waited for her husband’s body at their Chok Kashipur house in Howrah’s Bauria. Mita additionally spoke out against struggle, saying it would “simplest hurt civilians and not terrorists”. She, then again, said, “Terrorist training camps must be destroyed. Let our leaders come to a decision how to take action.”
