KAPURTHALA: Congress general secretary and Punjab affairs in- charge Shakeel Ahmad on Wednesday said the compensation offered to the families of martyrs who were killed in Dinanagar terror attack was grossly inadequate.
Shakeel, who visited the family of martyred Gurdaspur superintendent of police Baljit Singh, along with Punjab Congress chief Partap Singh Bajwa, said the compensation of `10 lakh announced by the government was a cruel joke on the families who have lost their breadwinners.
“Why can’t the SAD-BJP government in Punjab and the NDA government at the Centre come out with a joint package for victim families,” asked the Punjab affairs in- charge.
