“After being seriously injured in the August 21 grenade attack, I was on a wheelchair for five years. Then I had to walk with the help of crutches for seven years. Often, I wake up in the middle of the night in agony from the fragments that are still in my body, but I can’t go to the hospital because I don’t have my own car. I can’t sleep at night because of the pain of the splinter. You can say, I am slowly dying.
Mehbooba spoke about this horrific incident on Saturday evening at her residence in Savar’s Bank Colony. She stammered several times in fear as she recalled the attack, the memory of that day still makes her shiver with fear.
