Jammu: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, grief and heartbreak gripped a village in Kishtwar as the tragic story of Jana Begum, a mother whose last wish was to see her son return home, came to light.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Jana Begum\u2019s son, Riaz Ahmed, fed up with constant raids and harassment, had left the family home and remained in hiding, unaware of his mother\u2019s deteriorating health.<\/p>\n

For years, Jana Begum pleaded with her son to return. Her husband, Mohammad Ramzan, joined her appeals, but all went unheeded.<\/p>\n

Three days ago, as mourners gathered to lay Jana Begum to rest, her son remained absent, unaware that she had passed away. The coffin was lowered without the presence of the very child she had longed to see, leaving her final wish unfulfilled.<\/p>\n

Jana Begum\u2019s tragedy reflects the human cost of India\u2019s illegal occupation in Jammu and Kashmir. Her story symbolizes the countless parents who wait endlessly for children, only to be robbed of their presence. The empty shoulder that should have carried her coffin stands as a stark reminder of broken families and the merciless toll of foreign military boots on their soil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
