Don’t want job or money, just martyr status for husband: Pahalgam attack victim Shubham’s wife

KANPUR (UP): (May 2) Ten days after the deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam that claimed the lives of 26 people, including her husband Shubham Dwivedi, Ashanya on Thursday said no effective action has been taken against the perpetrators so far.

Shubham Dwivedi, 31, was among the victims killed in the April 22 attack targeting mostly tourists in the Baisaran area of Pahalgam. Speaking to PTI, Ashanya said she is not seeking a job or compensation, but solely wants her husband to be accorded the status of a martyr.

“Neither has Shubham received recognition as a martyr, nor has the government eliminated the terrorists responsible for the killings,” she said. PTI
