Son of BSF jawan Narender Singh, who was killed by Pakistani forces on Thursday, sought assistance from Home Minister Rajnath Singh. Speaking to the media, Mohit Kumar Dahiya said, "It is a proud moment for us; not everybody gets the honour of being shrouded in the tricolour but my father did," he said.

"We are proud now but what would happen when we don't get any help? My brother and I are unemployed. I want the authorities to help us," he added.
