Karnal MP Ashwini Chopra’s wife Kiran Chopra will bear the expenses of the daughter of Baljeet Singh (35) of Dinger Majra, killed in a recent gunfight between security forces and militants in the Ratnipora area of Pulwama district.

“Being a citizen, it is our duty to extend support to the family of every martyr who sacrifices his life for the country. My contribution is nothing compared to his sacrifice,” Kiran said.

“I will bear the educational expenses and transfer Rs 2,000 a month into her mother’s account till she passes Class XII. I will bear the expenses of her graduation or any other course. I will also take care of her wedding,” she said.
