Why is family objection important?

Major Mohit Sharma was a gallant officer of the Indian Army who was posthumously awarded the Ashoka Chakra for his bravery. He led an undercover operation in Kashmir as 'Iftikhar Bhat' and attained martyrdom in 2009. His story is an inspiration to people across the country – and that is why the family wants it to be given the respect it deserves, not be misrepresented, and not be misused for any commercial gain.
