Mother of Pahalgam Attack Victim Backs Indian Airstrikes

Sumathi, whose son Manjunath Rao was a victim of the Pahalgam terror attack, praised the Indian armed forces' airstrikes on Pakistan this Wednesday. She has faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision-making, wishing her son's sacrifice would ensure future safety for others.

In a statement captured by PTI videos, Sumathi maintained that, while the loss of her son is irreparable, it is essential to prevent similar tragedies from occurring and protect future generations. Her trust in the government remains steadfast, hopeful for peace but firm on accountability for those indulging in terror.

Manjunath Rao and Bharath Bushan were killed during a brutal attack in Pahalgam on April 22, among 26 victims, including tourists in the region. Sumathi's message is a call for action against terrorism and a plea to protect the innocent.
