Jammu and Kashmir Governor SatyaPal Malik said Wednesday that people should be proud of the country's armed forces and their sacrifices, and support families of those killed in the line of duty.

People, besides visiting shrines, should also go and meet the families of "martyrs" in villages and contribute for their well being, he said at a function of the state Sainik Welfare department here.

The department had organised the event to mark the 2018 armed forces flag day celebration.

"If we have be most proud of anything in this country, it is our armed forces and their martyrdom. If you cannot participate in their martyrdom, at least you should come forward to remember them", Malik said.

There are several organisations and institutions that support widows, parents and children of "martyrs" and "if you (the people) support them even with just a penny, it is big thing", the governor said
