Rukhsana seeks permanent job in paramilitary force

New Delhi, Nov 3 (PTI) Kashmiri girl Rukhsana Kausar, who
shot into limelight after killing an LeT terrorist, on Tuesday
demanded a permanent government job, ideally in a paramilitary
force, and said she should be shifted out of her home district
of Rajouri in view of the threat to her family.
The 20-year-old also said she favours imparting military
training to children in schools so that they can "overcome
fear and prepare themselves for taking on terrorists".
Rukhsana, who has been appointed as a special police
officer in Jammu and Kashmir Police along with her brother and
uncle for her bravery, said at a press meet organised by the
Anti-Terrorist Front here that she wants a Central government
job, "ideally in the CRPF".
"I am ready to sacrifice myself for the country. I am
ready to do any job for my country, but it should be a
permanent central government employment. The SPO's job is a
temporary one," she said.
Rukhsana also dismissed reports that she wants to settle
in Delhi, but said she should be given a job outside Rajouri
as living there is not safe for her family. She cited the
revenge attack on her house by militants last week.
Flanked by her family -- brother Aijaz and parents Noor
and Rashida -- the girl who earned the sobriquet of
"braveheart", recalled how she along with her brother killed a
top Pakistani militant of the LeT and injured another after a
group of ultras barged into their house in Shahdra Sharief of
Rajouri district on September 27. (More) PTI
