Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, May 7, 2025 – Aishanya Dwivedi, grieving the loss of her husband Shubham Dwivedi in the devastating Pahalgam terrorist attack, has expressed heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for what she describes as a fitting response to the tragedy. “I want to thank PM Modi for taking revenge for my husband’s death,” Aishanya said in a poignant statement. “My entire family had trust in him, and the way he replied (to Pakistan), he has kept our trust alive. This is the real tribute to my husband. Wherever my husband is, he will be at peace today.”
Shubham Dwivedi was among the victims of the brutal attack in Pahalgam, where terrorists reportedly singled him out after questioning his religious identity. Aishanya shared the chilling details: “They asked Shubham if he was Hindu or Muslim. When he said he was Hindu, they shot him immediately.” Despite the personal loss, Aishanya highlighted Shubham’s heroism, noting that he took the first bullet, enabling others to flee.
The Indian government’s response, codenamed Operation Sindoor, has been widely interpreted as a retaliatory strike against Pakistan, earning praise from Aishanya and others who see it as justice for the victims. The operation has resonated deeply with the Dwivedi family, who view it as a testament to the government’s commitment to combating terrorism.
Aishanya’s grief is coupled with a resolve to ensure her husband’s sacrifice is not forgotten. Previously, she made an emotional appeal while wearing Shubham’s shirt, urging the government to honor victims’ families and avoid repeating the oversight seen in past incidents like Pulwama or 26/11. “We want Shubham’s name to live on, and I request the government to grant him martyr status,” she stated. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath personally met the family, promising stringent action against those responsible.
The Pahalgam attack has sparked widespread outrage, with unverified claims on X suggesting local involvement, though no official confirmation has emerged. Aishanya’s words reflect a broader sentiment of trust in PM Modi’s leadership, with many viewing the government’s actions as a powerful message to perpetrators of terror.
As the nation mourns, Aishanya’s gratitude underscores the personal impact of national resolve. For her, the government’s response is not just policy—it is a source of solace, ensuring Shubham’s sacrifice was not in vain.
