Karnataka government handed over a check of Rs 50 lakh to Captain Pranjal’s family.

Bengaluru: The state government on Tuesday handed over a compensation check of Rs 50 lakh to the family of Captain MV Pranjal, who was recently martyred in an encounter with terrorists in Rajouri, Jammu and Kashmir. Announcing the compensation on Monday night, Minister Principal Siddaramaiah said in a tweet (first on Twitter) that it was the government’s duty to support the family of the martyred soldier. Terrorism financing case: NIA raids continue in Jammu and Kashmir “It is impossible to put a price on his sacrifice. It is the government’s duty to support his family among the millions of people in this country.” Recently BJP had demanded that the government should provide financial assistance to the martyr’s family. In response, Siddaramaiah said on Tuesday that the government has utmost respect for the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country and is also concerned about their families. “We do not use the deaths of soldiers to promote our political agenda,” he said in an indirect attack on the opposition party.
