A couple of days after Makhan Lal Bindroo was shot dead by alleged militants in Srinagar, her daughter Shraddha Bindroo openly challenged the assailants of her father. The woman claimed that the militants had no courage who shoot people on their backs. Further, she proclaimed that if the militants have enough courage, they should have a debate with her.
“Makhan Lal Bindro Was a Kashmiri Pandit..Will Never Die”
Speaking to the media, a charged-up Shraddha said that her father will never die and will continue to live in spirit.
“I’m an associate professor. I started from zero, my father started from a bicycle, my brother is a dermatologist, my mother sits on a shop, that is what Makhan Lal Bindroo made us. Kashmiri Pandit will never die. I being a Hindu, have read Quran. Quran says that this body is a outfit that will change. But a human’s spirit it will not go anywhere, “she said.
“Makhan Lal Bindroo will be alive in spirit,” Shraddha Bindroo further added.
