Inayat Khan a Bihar cadre IAS officer who serves as the District Magistrate of Sheikhpura, has decided to adopt two little girls whose fathers were martyred in the Pulwama terrorist attack. Khan has agreed to bear education and other expenses of one daughter each of Constable Sanjay Kumar Sinha from Patna and Ratan Kumar Thakur from Bhagalpur.
Khan has also opened a bank account to collect donations for the martyr’s families. “I have directed officials to open an account to raise funds for families of two victims. Whatever amount will be collected by March 10, we will divide and give it to their families. I want to appeal to the people to contribute as much as you can so that we can stand by their families at a time when they need our support,” Inayat told ANI.
Khans actions show us that even in our darkest hours, we can remain compassionate and focus on helping those in need, instead of engaging in mindless acts of violence in a misguided attempt to seek revenge.
