Kashmiri girl Rukhsana Kausar, who shot into limelight after killing an LeT terrorist, demanded a permanent government job, ideally in a paramilitary force, and said she should be shifted out of her home district of Rajouri in view of the threat to her family.

The 20-year-old also said she favours imparting military training to children in schools so that they can "overcome fear and prepare themselves for taking on terrorists".

Rukhsana, who has been appointed as a special police officer in Jammu and Kashmir Police along with her brother and uncle for her bravery, said at a press meet organised by the Anti-Terrorist Front here that she wants a Central government job, "ideally in the CRPF".

"I am ready to sacrifice myself for the country. I am ready to do any job for my country, but it should be a permanent central government employment. The SPO's job is a temporary one," she said.

Rukhsana also dismissed reports that she wants to settle in Delhi, but said she should be given a job outside Rajouri as living there is not safe for her family. She cited the revenge attack on her house by militants last week.

Flanked by her family -- brother Aijaz and parents Noor and Rashida -- the girl who earned the sobriquet of "braveheart", recalled how she along with her brother killed a top Pakistani militant of the LeT and injured another after a group of ultras barged into their house in Shahdra Sharief of Rajouri district on September 27.
