India star cricketer Shikhar Dhawan on Sunday offered to donate money to the families of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel martyred in the dastardly terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama. Condolence messages have been pouring in for the family of the deceased soldiers since the news of the attack broke out.
Condemning the terror attack, Dhawan took to twitter to post an emotional video and also urged all Indians and cricket fans to help and support the families of the martyred soldiers. "This is the least we can do. Jis se jitna ban pade utna zaroor karein. Jai Hind #standwithforces #pulwama", Dhawan posted with the video.
On Thursday, at least 40 CRPF paramilitary troopers were killed in a terror attack while several others are battling for their lives following what is being termed as the deadliest terrorist strike in three decades in the valley.
Earlier, former India cricketer Virender Sehwag had offered to bear the educational expenses of children of all the CRPF personnel martyred in the dastardly terrorist attack.
"Nothing we can do will be enough, but the least I can do is offer to take complete care of the education of the children of our brave CRPF jawans martyred in #Pulwama in my Sehwag International School @SehwagSchool , Jhajjar. Saubhagya hoga," Sehwag wrote on his twitter handle.
Star boxer Vijender Singh, who is employed with Haryana Police, is donating a month's salary.
"I'm donating my one month's salary for the martyrs of #PulwamaTerrorAttack and want everyone to come forward and support the families. It is our moral duty to always standby them and make them feel proud of their sacrifices. Jai Hind," the Olympic medallist said.
