"Give justice to my martyr sons or shoot me too"; helpless terror victim mother pleads government [details]

The helpless mother Saroj Bala could not control her emotions while expressing her anger over the failure of the security agencies to trace terrorists responsible for the killings of both of her sons.

"We have lost faith in the administration. Except for statements nothing has concrete been done to bring killers to justice", said Saroj Bala, who lost both of her sons in the barbaric back-to-back terror attacks on January 1 and January 2 this year.

"With the gruesome killing of my both sons, I have lost everything. We don't need jobs. We don't need money. We need justice by bringing terrorists and their supporters to book. If they don't address our demand, we will all migrate from Dangri," she told reporters in Rajouri town.

Annoyed over the failure of the authorities to arrest terrorists involved in the killings of seven unarmed innocent civilians including two minors, family members of the Dangri terror attacks victims on Monday warned of mass migration to safer places.

The enraged family members also announced to return of ex-gratia sanctioned by the government to them as a mark of protest against, what they alleged, the casual approach of the authorities to catch perpetrators of gruesome killings.

Saroj Bala, who lost two sons — Prince and Deepak — in the terrorist attack, said if the government cannot provide her justice, it should "shoot me dead too".
