NEW DELHI: BSF jawan Purnam Kumar Shaw returned to India after inadvertently crossing into Pakistan while on duty in Punjab. His wife, Rajani Shaw, expressed immense relief and gratitude to the government and PM Modi for his safe return. She also thanked CM Mamata Banerjee and acknowledged the support from state and central authorities, emphasizing the nation’s solidarity during the ordeal.
GRATITUDE TO THE GOVERNMENT
Rajani, the wife of BSF jawan Purnam Kumar Shaw, expressed her deep gratitude to the government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi after her husband was handed over to Indian authorities by the Pakistan Rangers on Wednesday.
DETAINED WHILE HE WAS ON DUTY
Shaw inadvertently crossed into Pakistani territory on April 23 while on operational duty in the Ferozepur sector of Punjab, where he was subsequently detained. The jawan’s safe return was met with immense relief and emotion from his family, especially his wife, Rajani Shaw, who thanked PM Modi, stating, ‘Everything is possible if there is PM Modi.’
MODI HAI TO MUMKIN HAI
Rajani said, “Everything is possible if there is PM Modi (Modi Hai To Mumkin Hai). When Pahalgam attack occurred on 22nd April, he avenged everyone’s ‘Sindoor’ within 15-20 days through Operation Sindoor. Four-five days later, he brought back my ‘Suhag’. So, I would like to fold my hands and extend my heartfelt gratitude.”
RECEIVED A CALL FROM AUTHORITY
Recounting the emotional moment, she added, “I am very happy today. We received a call from an officer in the morning. My husband also video-called me. He is physically fit. He told me to not be tense, that he is fine, and that he would call me at 3pm.” Rajani also expressed her gratitude for the support from both state and central authorities.
THANKS TO MAMATA DIDI
She mentioned speaking with West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, who reassured her that her husband would return this week. “I spoke with the CM three-four days ago. She reassured me that my husband would return this week and said she was in touch with BSF officers.”
EXCHANGE OF GESTURE
Indian authorities also returned a Pakistan Rangers personnel Muhammad Allah who had been apprehended on May 3 after crossing into Indian territory along the Rajasthan border. The mutual repatriations come in the wake of a recent agreement between India and Pakistan to cease military operations along the border, reached on May 10.
