Martyred BSF sub inspector`s son, Mohammed Imran, said, “I am proud of my father`s supreme sacrifice and I pay respect to all those bravehearts, who lost their lives while defending unity and integrity of the country. Pakistan is killing Indian soldiers by deceit, as wives are losing their husbands and sons are losing their fathers.
“Pakistan should be given a reply in its own language so that supreme sacrifices of martyrs do not go in vain. I will now spend my life with memories of my father who made supreme sacrifice for the country and I will feel proud of being called the son of a martyr. Instead of relying on Pakistan, India should give a befitting reply to it so that soldiers do not need to make supreme sacrifices time and again,” he commented, while making all efforts to stop tears from rolling down.
Aftab, a relative of Imtiaz, told reporters, "Everyone is proud of Imtiaz for the supreme sacrifice. He was very keen to join the armed forces. I have seen him working hard to get selected."
