"You lied to me that you loved me...": Pulwama Martyr wife's heart-wrenching words

On February 14, a suicide bombing in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir ended up taking the lives of 40 CRPF jawans. The aftermath of the terror attack was even more vicious, as it affected the lives of those who personally knew the deceased.

One such affected person is Nitika Kaul, wife of Major Vibhuti Shankar Dhoundiyal. After losing her husband to the deadly terror attack, Kaul had to bid adieu to the mortal remains of him. Standing next to the coffin, Kaul commented on how her husband's love for the country was far more than the love he had for her.

Kaul said, "You lied to me that you loved me. In fact, you loved the nation way more. I’m quite jealous and I can’t help it. We all love you. You sacrificed your life for the people... You are such a brave man.

"I’m very honoured to have you as my husband. Till my last breath, I’ll always love you, Vibhu. It’s hurting that you are leaving but I know you’ll always be around… I request everyone not to sympathize, rather be very strong. Let’s salute this man."

The two got married last year and were planning to celebrate their first year anniversary when the tragedy struck.
