AIATF awards duo who caught Pak terrorist
The duo was felicitated on Wednesday at an event in New Delhi organised by All-India Anti-Terrorist Front (AIATF) during which they were hailed as “great sons of India” by chairman MS Bitta.
Presenting them with trophies and cash rewards, Bitta urged the people to “take a lesson” from their brave act. “We should not be overly dependent on the security forces. We should take lessons from the way they (the duo) put up a brave fight and caught the terrorist. We should also show such exemplary courage. Only then terrorism can be tackled,” he said.
