Martyred soldier's daughter urges govt to solve issues with Pakistan

New Delhi, May 2 (IBNS/Just Earth News) Posting a video on social networking site Facebook, Gurmeher Kaur, daughter of martyred Indian soldier Captain Mandeep Singh, has urged both the Indian and Pakistan governments to stop pretending and solve the real issues.
The girl chooses to remain silent and states her messages through a series of placards.

Introducing herself and her father, who was killed in the 1999 Kargil War, she said that it was difficult for her to forgive Pakistan and Pakistanis initially. 

"I also remember how much I used to hate Pakistan and Pakistanis because they killed by dad," a placard read.

She also spoke about her hatred towards the Muslim community and confessed that she wanted to stab a burkha-clad lady once.

Kaur also said that it was her mother who helped her come to the terms with the reality as she puts up a placard reading, "Pakistan did not kill my father, war killed him. It took me a while to know, but today I do. I have learnt to let go of my hate."
 
She also identifies herself as a soldier, alike to her late father's profession. "I fight for peace between India and Pakistan," a slide reads.

Criticising the governments of negligence, Kaur states that "It is difficult to be a first world country with third world leadership" and urges them to "Pull the socks up and address the issue at hand."

She says that if Japan and USA can put their troubled past behind them and get a move on, much like France and Germany, what is stopping the neighbouring nations from the sub-continent.
