Tribute to Indian army by 'Force 2'
on Oct 16, 2016
The cast and crew of the film Force 2 will launch a petition requesting the government to recognise the uncelebrated martyrs of the country. The team also plans to visit the Amar Jawan Jyoti in the national capital soon to pay tribute to the country's unsung heroes. Actor John Abraham, who leads the cast of the movie, said in a statement: "Even today,there are many unrecognised and forgotten martyrs from various intelligence agencies who need to gain recognition, if not celebrated." "We understand that revealing names of people who are currently serving, may lead to political or security issues. However, it's a meek request that the long due pending cases of people get resolved, giving them their needed status and recognition in our society," John added. The movie's director Abhinay Deo expressed concern for family members of the martyrs. "Why should they endure pain? As a country we must take care of them, and acknowledge the blood they have shed," Deo said. Producer Vipul Shah said: "Once these spies are caught and disowned by the government, their family suffers a great deal. Political compulsions may keep us from celebrating such people, but they shouldn't deter us from respecting their work."
