Sambhal (UP), May 20: Family members of Sepoy Sudesh Kumar, who was killed last year in firing by Pakistani troops along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir, on Saturday rejected the administration’s offer to fix an appointment with the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath during his Moradabad visit on Sunday.

The family members on Friday sat on an indefinite fast, demanding the chief minister to pay a visit to their Pansukha Milak village.

Stating that the condition of Kavita Kumari, the widow of Sudesh Kumar was not good, Manoj, the brother of the killed sepoy, said district unit presidents of the BJP and the SP, Rajesh Singhal and Firoz Khan respectively, also met the family.

Officials have been directed to arrange for a team of doctors to check the medical condition of the family members on fast and deploy an ambulance in the village, the ADM said. —

THE FAMILY members of Sudesh sat on an indefinite fast claiming that despite promises by the BJP leaders, none of them visited the family again.
