The wife of 30-year-old Shubham Dwivedi, killed in the April 22 attack on civilians in Pahalgam, has spoken out after the Indian army carried out Operation Sindoor in retaliation for the Jammu and Kashmir terrorist attack that claimed 26 lives. During an interview, she thanked PM Modi and called it a “real tribute” to her husband.
“I want to thank PM Modi for taking revenge for my husband's death. My entire family had trust in him, and the way he replied (to Pakistan), he has kept our trust alive. This is the real tribute to my husband. Wherever my husband is, he will be at peace today,” Ashanya Dwivedi told ANI.
