Rajasthan: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot visited a delegation of war widows from around the state on March 11 to endorse his government’s existing policies for the families of martyrs, amid a simmering protest by the widows of three CRPF jawans killed in the 2019 Pulwama terror attack.
Widows of Pulwama have been protesting since February
The widows of Pulwama have been protesting since February 28, requesting that regulations be changed so that relatives other than children might be hired by the government on compassionate grounds. Other demands include the construction of roads and the placement of martyr statues in local villages. Rajasthan police took them from the protest location outside Congress leader Sachin Pilot’s bungalow in Jaipur early Friday. Mr. Pilot told reporters in Tonk, without identifying Mr. Gehlot, that the subject should be heard without regard for ego.
