Harminder Singh, who was martyred in a terrorist encounter in Jammu and Kashmir, had made a video call to his mother Gurmeet Kaur a day before. The martyr had also told his mother about the current situation there. He had told his mother that terrorists had surrounded them from all sides.
Uncle Darshan Singh also told with a choking voice that Harminder’s father had told him many times that son, you should get married but he said that he is settled in the army. After coming home, he will first build a house and then get married.
Uncle told that Harminder was talking and laughing through repeated video calls since a day before. He was saying that I never know when an enemy’s bullet will hit my chest. That’s why he is talking to all his family members.
