Have felt the pain of the families of soldiers: Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami
The Chief Minister said that he has not only seen the bravery of the soldier since childhood but has also seen the struggle of his family members. I have seen the pain of that parent whose son is fighting on the border for the pride of the country. I have seen the disquiet in the eyes of a wife who, while waiting for her husband’s arrival, does not know when she becomes old and sick. Heard the sobbing cries of children who are anxious to hug their father. There is so much struggle in the life of a soldier, but in spite of this, he is always ready to save the self-respect of his country.
