J&K Mother's Plea to Terrorist Son Unheeded
A mother in Jammu and Kashmir, India, made a heartfelt plea to her son, who had joined a terrorist group 15 years ago, to come back home.
She wanted him to take care of her and be with her when she died.
Unfortunately, her son did not return, and she passed away without him.
Her husband also asked their son to leave the path of violence.
The mother's absence at her funeral highlights the sad impact of terrorism on families.
Many other mothers are also waiting for their children to come back, but they never do.
Security forces say that terrorism is affecting many generations by brainwashing young people through social media.
Jana Begum, a mother in Jammu and Kashmir, made a final plea to her son Riaz Ahmed, who joined the Hizbul Mujahideen 15 years ago, to come back home.
Begum's plea, 'What kind of jihad is this, where parents are abandoned,' went unheeded, and she passed away without her son's presence.
Her husband, Mohammad Ramzan, also urged their son to shun the path of violence.
Ahmed has a reward of Rs 10 lakh on his head and has not returned home in 15 years.
Security forces highlight the devastating toll of terrorism, stating that it is indoctrinating and brainwashing young people through social media.
