New Delhi, Mar 3: Wife of martyred IAF officer Ninad Mandavgane has advised social media users who are demanding war to either go to the front or stop.
“We don’t want war. You don’t know the damages of war. We don’t want more Ninads to go. Social media warriors, please stop. If you want war, go to the front,” said Vijeta Mandavgane wife of Squadron Leader Ninad Mandavgane who was one among the seven killed when a Mi-17 chopper crashed in Jammu and Kashmir's Budgam last week.
Vijeta urged social media users to not whip up sentiments and advised media to act responsible. “If you truly want to bring about change, for my Ninad, for Wing Commander Abhinandan and the martyrs, do a small thing. Either join the forces or make your family members join the forces. If you can't, then at least bring about small changes around you to help the nation. You can keep your surroundings clean, not litter the roads, not urinate in the public and not harass girls," Mandavgane told reporters. The message is currently going viral.
Leader Ninad Mandavgane was cremated with full military honours in Nashik on Friday. The 33-year-old martyred soldier has a two-year-old daughter who kissed his coffin during his last rites.
