“I have a lot of respect for our brave soldiers,” said Prakash Gandhi, who had his head shaved. My life has always been connected with them. I myself have been to Kargil four times. Going to such places again and again, I remember and pay homage to the heroic grandsons of my country. The soldiers of the country are our true heroes. I have shaved my head today to express my grief over the sentiments towards the martyrs including BP Rawat.”
