Fire raging in your heart is in mine too, says PM Modi on Pulwama attack

Prime Minister Modi, who was on a visit to Bihar and Jharkhand Sunday to inaugurate a slew of development projects, paid his tributes to the soldiers martyred in the terror attack in Pulwama. Expressing grief and outrage over the attack, the PM said, “I condole the bereaved families. And to the large number of people who have gathered here, I would like to say the fire that is raging in your bosoms, is in my heart as well.”

Addressing the people in Bihar's Barauni, the PM paid tributes to two of the slain jawans who hailed from the state. “I salute and pay my tributes to Sanjay Kumar Sinha and Ratan Kumar Thakur,” the prime minister said.

The two jawans, who belonged to Patna and Bhagalpur, were among the 40 CRPF personnel killed in the attack on Thursday.

In Jharkhand, the prime minister paid homage to Vijay Soreng, the CRPF personnel from the state who was killed in the attack and said that the Centre would look after the families of the slain jawans.

“I pay my tributes to the brave son of the country, Vijay Soren. I bow to his family in Gumla. His children are facing this situation very bravely right now.”
