Lucknow, January 30, 2011: Sahara India Pariwar, a major business conglomerate of India, observed Shaheed Diwas of the Father of Nation - Mahatma Gandhi, at Sahara Shaher along with the families of the Martyrs who laid their lives for the country during three of the worst attacks inflicted on the nation in recent times, which are the Kargil War, 26/11 Mumbai Terror Attack and Dantewada Massacre. It has been over a decade that Sahara India Pariwar is financially and emotionally supporting the families of martyrs who displayed the unmatched valor, grit & courage at the time when our nation was under attack. Today, 298 families of martyrs are being provided financial assistance from Sahara India Pariwar and the total support extended so far, amounts to over Rs. 20 crores.
The ceremony witnessed the felicitation of the 127 families of Kargil, Mumbai and Dantewada martyrs by Saharasri Subrata Roy Sahara, Managing Worker and Chairman, Sahara India Pariwar and other members of Sahara India Pariwar. The families of Kargil, Mumbai and Dantewada martyrs came together from all across the country on the occasion of Shaheed Diwas to join Sahara India Pariwar in paying tribute to the national heroes who attained immortality through their supreme sacrifice of life in upholding our esteem and strengthening the edifice of our indivisible national unity.
On this occasion, Mr. Subrata Roy Sahara, Managing Worker and Chairman, Sahara India Pariwar said, “We are indebted to the brave sons of our beloved motherland who have laid their life for the nation and its people. The sacrifices of the families of the martyrs are also no less, who have faced the trauma, pain and difficulty, which ascended on them. We have to remember that these gems of our nation were cast in these homes and among these families only. It is our responsibility to take full care and give highest respect to the families whose bright sons placed their love for the nation and its billions of people, above their own affections, hopes, aspirations and even life. I, on behalf of the entire Sahara India Pariwar, extend my gratitude to them and their families and would like to re-emphasize our commitment towards them. Today, I feel privileged to host the families of martyrs and I feel really honoured in doing anything for them. The sacrifice of the martyrs is so great that no honour can match it. In fact the family members of these great martyrs have honoured us by accepting our small gesture of honour for them. We truly feel honoured and stand highly obliged”
On knowing about some of the Kargil Martyrs families where children are still small and they are facing some financial problems, Saharasri Subrata Roy Sahara, today announced to further extent Sahara’s financial support to the 301 children of 152 Kargil martyrs, who are still below the age of 18 years, till their adulthood.
