India’s Duty Doesn’t Just End At Honouring Our Jawans. Akshay Kumar Makes A Valid Point.

The deadly terror attack in Uri, which led to 17 Indian soldiers being martyred, has provoked a strong reaction from the nation. Some people condemned the event, while others urged for strong retaliation.

Akshay Kumar, who has been extremely supportive of the Indian Armed Forces, impresses upon the evident reality that just felicitating those who’ve laid down their lives for the nation is not enough. 

Akshay believes that these brave men should certainly be honoured however, just commemorations are not sufficient.

He draws attention to the fact that these soldiers come from humble backgrounds and are often the sole earning members in the family. He urges everyone to be more practical. 

“They are decorated with lot of medals and that is good. But I looked at their faces. The samman was required for them but they need money too. You have to be practical. I thought how about supporting them financially and that is when I decided to do my bit for each family present there.”

These soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice so that we could sleep peacefully at night. The least we can do is ensure their families are well taken care of.

Kudos to Akshay Kumar for taking the initiative!
