Maj Fateh Singh had no weapon but killed terrorist!

Commonwealth Gold medallist Major Fateh Singh had achieved martyrdom in the Pathankot terror crisis in the manner of a hero. As he heard early morning that terrorists had stormed into the Pathankot airbase on Saturday, Major Fateh Singh got into his uniform and left the house, according to his daughter Madhu Singh. Soon she heard gunshots in the neighbourhood. She and the other family members got under the cots to save themselves from stray bullets. What happened in the neighbourhood? Major Fateh Singh had no firearms with him. But he got into the thick of action. He simply lunged at a terrorist snatching his AK 47 and shot him dead. The other terrorists giving cover to the ultra then singled him out and shot Major Fateh Singh dead. The first name `Fateh' is initiation into Sikhism. `Deg Tegh Fateh' in Punjabi (Victory to Charity and Arms) was achieved in its totality by Maj Fateh Singh. Maj Fateh Singh had won Gold and Silver medals in the 1995 Commonwealth Games. Madhu Singh recalled that her father had always used to say that it was vital to fight for the Truth. One should struggle as much as possible to thwart evil. In the event, he lived by and died for Sikhism's highest principles.
