Soliha Javed, now in Class 10, says \u2018justice has finally come\u2019; recalls her mother\u2019s 12 years of struggle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Srinagar, Aug 05 (KNO): For 16-year-old Soliha Javed from Bijbehara, August 05, 2025, will be etched in her memory not just as a date, but as the day justice finally knocked at her door after 12 long years of silence, pain and perseverance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI was in UKG when my father was killed in a terror attack,\u201d Soliha said, her voice steady but eyes welling with emotion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cNow, I am in Class 10 and this is the first time I have felt that someone heard our cries,\u201d she said while speaking to the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Soliha said her father was killed in a terrorist attack more than a decade ago. Since then, her mother, a single parent, bore the burden of raising her daughter while knocking on every door for justice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cMy mother would hold my hand with one and the documents in the other,\u201d she said. The girl spoke of fighting every battle\u2014legal, emotional and financial on her own. \u201cToday, I saw relief on her face for the first time,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the official event in Srinagar, where Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha handed over appointment letters to families of terror victims, Soliha said she felt overwhelmed with gratitude.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis appointment letter is not just a paper; it is a reward for my mother\u2019s struggle and a recognition of my father\u2019s sacrifice,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Soliha said she wants to focus on her studies now. \u201cMy father\u2019s dream was for me to become something in life. With this support, I can think of a future. I feel light, as if a heavy weight has been lifted from our shoulders,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moreover, Soliha expressed deep gratitude to the LG Manoj Sinha administration: \u201cWe are very happy and thankful to LG Sahab. He didn\u2019t just announce something, but he gave us justice but something we have waited for all these years.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Notably, LG Sinha said the long wait for justice and for healing to begin is over for the terror victim families. \u201cWe will do everything possible for the rehabilitation of terror victims. It is my promise to the NoKs of terror victim families that perpetrators of heinous crimes will receive exemplary punishment. We will also ensure the harshest possible punishment to terror sympathisers,\u201d he said\u2014(KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
