Peace - that's the message of EK Sivaranjan, father of Lieutenant Colonel Niranjan Kumar, who was martyred on Sunday at Punjab's Pathankot air base. "We need peace... Let's not go for violence and horrible things," said the 67-year-old Mr Sivarajan, who brought his son's body, wrapped in the Indian tricolour, to Kerala's Palakkad, their hometown, where the funeral would be held on today.
