Shah Bano, 60, who had lost her husband 10 years ago to cross-border shelling, was in the audience. She had trekked 7 km from her village Piranpila to join the rally. But she had a different expectation from Gandhi. “I have lost my husband in the shelling in 1999. I don’t want India and Pakistan should go to war again. It will bring disaster in the border areas,” she said.
“I have heard about terror attacks in Mumbai. It is very sad that innocent people are being killed. But war will create more problems, especially for us who live close to the LoC,” she added.
