📰 What’s Happening?

• Rahul’s Congress party leaders identified school-going kids who had lost their families—especially bread­winners. After cross‑checking with district records, the final list was confirmed 🇮🇳🙏.

📅 Timeline & Support Details

• Gandhi visited Poonch on May 24, 2025, met bereaved families, and instructed party teams to compile the list of affected kids 🌄🤝.

• The first instalment of financial aid was released on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, so schooling doesn’t stop and they don’t lose hope 🎒✨.

🎙 Rahul’s Message to the Kids

During his visit, Rahul spoke to children at Christ Public School, where victims like Urba Fatima and Zain Ali spent their last school days. He said:

“Your way of responding … should be to study really hard, play really hard and make a lot of friends in school.” 🧒🏽🏫

He expressed pride, sorrow, and hope, urging the children not to lose faith.

💬 Why It Matters

From a people‑centred perspective, this move reflects responsibility toward innocent civilians affected by cross‑border violence—the children who suffer most have become invisible victims. Rahul Gandhi is stepping in where government and systems sometimes fail, ensuring education and dignity, not charity 🎒❤️. This is solidarity with the working class, standing up for equality for those most vulnerable.

Standing with these children means standing for people first, not policies or political gain. In times of crisis, states and borders blur—innocents pay the price.
