Prashant Kishor apologises to family of CRPF martyr
Patna: Janata Dal United (JDU) national Vice President Prashant Kishor has apologised to the father of the slain CRPF trooper who was anguished with leaders of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for not paying homage to his dead son.
"We are sorry for the error of judgement on part of those of us who should have been there with you in this hour of grief," Kishor said in a tweet on Sunday.
Pintu Singh, a resident of Begusarai district, was killed in Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara district on Friday during an anti-terrorist operation.
After none of the NDA leaders or Bihar ministers were present at the Patna airport when his body was brought in on Sunday, his father Chakradhar Singh said: "Ministers are only concerned about remaining in power. It shows how concerned they are about the soldiers."
"NDA leaders were more concerned about Sankalp rally of (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi. They have neglected to pay homage to a brave soldier who was killed for the country," father of the martyred CRPF jawan said.
