UP CM announces Rs 20 lakh each to the families of slain Army jawans from the state, while Jharkhand announces Rs.10 lakh each for the martyred jawans. No announcement from Bihar, Bengal, Maharashtra and others. Shame, the political leaders create discrimination even among the martyred jawans.
"Chief minister has announced a financial assistance of Rs 20 lakh each to the families of four jawans from Uttar Pradesh killed in Uri yesterday," a spokesperson of the UP government said on Monday.
Heavily armed militants suspected to be from Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed had stormed an Army base in Uri, killing 17 jawans. While two of the 17 soldiers were from Jammu and Kashmir, four belonged to Uttar Pradesh, three each from Bihar and Maharashtra, two each from West Bengal and Jharkhand and one hailed from Rajasthan.
