Even as the nation continues to mourn the death of at least 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans, political parties have failed to respect the sentiments of the bereaved families.

While many political leaders were seen laughing during last rites ceremony of the martyrs, a video has now emerged from Uttarakhand where Congress party workers could be seen showering currency notes on former Uttarakhand chief minister Harish Rawat's son at a tribute ceremony in Roorkee.

In the video, the party workers could be seen showering money on Congress leader Virendra Rawat. The leader did not do anything to stop the party workers and was also caught laughing.

The tribute ceremony, which was aimed at paying respect to the martyrs, turned out to be a mockery as soon as the musical program started as party workers started showering the notes.

However, the ceremony was organised by Congress party to demand action from Prime Minister Narendra Modi in light of the dastardly attack in Pulwama.

"It was a program organised to pay tribute to the CRPF soldiers who lost their lives in Pulwama terrorist attack. It was an effort to awaken the lion with a 56-inch chest. The PM should take an action to silence the enemy," said Virendra Rawat.

Rawat, who was the chief guest of the tribute ceremony, also demanded PM Modi for initiating action against terrorists responsible for the attack.

The Pulwama terror attack on February 14 is the deadliest terror attack in three decades of Kashmir's insurgency and has led to a huge war of words between India and Pakistan.

While New Delhi has slammed Pakistan for harbouring terror, the neighbours have denied any role in the Pulwama terror attack, which was carried out by a Jaish-e-Mohammed suicide bomber.

Meanwhile, top Indian defence officials are meeting with military experts on Monday (February 25) to discuss ways to unsettle Pakistan's shielding of terror outfits.
