Force 2 actors John Abraham and Sonakshi Sinha paid tribute to the armed forces and unsung heroes at the Amar Jawan Jyoti at India Gate today. The actors, who were present in Delhi for a promotional event for their forthcoming film, placed a wreath near the Amar Jawan Jyoti and appealed that the jawans and spies who lost their lives in safeguarding the country should also get the recognition and the status that martyrs get in India. They attracted a huge crowd at India Gate and flaunted an important message via their T-shirts, which read as, "Respect the Indian forces." After the event, Sonakshi and John even tweeted, "At Amar Jawan Jyoti paying respect to the true heroes of our nation, our armed forces! Jai Hind Force 2."
The film's team is keen to see that the names of these unsung heroes should get recognised. They also plan to take this petition to the President of India - Pranab Mukherjee. As John mentioned, "Even today, there are many unrecognised and forgotten martyrs from various intelligence agencies who need to gain recognition, if not celebrated. It's our humble request to the system to recognise those who have sacrificed their lives while serving the nation. It's disheartening that these people put their lives at stake, without giving second thoughts to whether their efforts or sacrifice will ever be recognised. 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 pending cases of people get resolved, giving them their needed status and recognition in our society."
