Squadron Leader Lokendra Singh Sindhu's final farewell in Rohtak, Haryana. His wife, holding their one-month-old child, stood over his tricolour-draped coffin. His father, shattered. A young warrior of the skies laid to rest. But what haunts more than anything else is not just the grief. It's the absence. Not one political leader of note showed up. Not Haryana's Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. Not a single senior BJP minister like Anil Vij. Not even local Congress MP Deepinder Hooda or local Congress MLA Bharat Bhushan Batra. No neta found it important enough to be there. From either of the 2 big parties in Haryana.
