He also remembered “a man who came with faith in his heart”… a young man from Kanpur, who left home for a few days and never came back.Agnihotri did not shy away from putting numbers to the upset. He also added: “26 lives lost. 26 widows. 26 families broken,” stressing that the real damage is much deeper than any statistics can capture.Agnihotri’s statement had a clear and firm message against the normalization of such violence. “Terrorism it doesn’t just kill people. It ends lives in mid-sentence,” he wrote. He concluded with a solemn call to honor the victims: “No idea, no cause, no belief can ever justify the taking of innocent lives. We owe them memory. We owe them dignity.”
