Key Takeaways
Kanpur, May 30 (NationPress) Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited on Friday the wife and family of Shubham Dwivedi, a victim of the recent Pahalgam attack where 26 tourists were tragically killed by terrorists. Upon his arrival at Chakeri airport in Kanpur, PM Modi extended his condolences to Shubham's father and wife, offering them heartfelt support during this painful time.
Shubham Dwivedi, a 31-year-old businessman from Kanpur, was newly married to Aishnya just in February this year. Their joyful holiday in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir turned into a nightmare when, on April 22, Shubham was brutally targeted and murdered by terrorists.
After the meeting, Aishnya expressed gratitude, stating that the Prime Minister's visit was a significant step toward healing their anguish. "PM Modi assured us that not only he but the whole nation stands with us in this dark time, urging us to hold onto hope. He shares our sorrow deeply," she revealed to reporters, her eyes glistening with tears.
During the encounter, PM Modi comforted Aishnya, who was clearly heartbroken. Shubham's uncle recounted, "The Prime Minister reiterated that Operation Sindoor against terrorism remains ongoing and unwavering. We will always support you in this fight." Shubham and Aishnya just started their married life two months ago, only to have their happiness shattered during a family outing.
The couple, along with relatives, had visited the beautiful Baisaran meadows when the terrorists launched a calculated attack on tourists, specifically targeting men. A week prior to this meeting, Lok Sabha MP Ramesh Awasthi had formally requested PM Modi to meet Shubham's family during his time in Kanpur.
