Pulwama attack: PM Modi pays tribute to CRPF jawan Vijay Soreng in Jharkhand

Hazaribagh (Jharkhand): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday paid homage to CRPF jawan Vijay Soreng while addressing a rally in Hazaribagh in Jharkhand.

“I pay homage to Shaheed Vijay Soreng, who hailed from Jharkhand. I bow down to his family in Gumla (hriday se naman karta hu). His children are strongly fighting this tough time,” Modi said.

At the rally, the Prime Minister said, “With the motive of ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’, the central government is working for poor, women, youth, backward castes, adivasis and others. Jharkhand has always worked towards empowering women.”
