Seeing the Delhi Government act on their promise of looking after the family and giving a government job to Ankur made his mother emotional as she thanked the CM for his gesture. Earlier, the Delhi Government had provided the family a financial assistance of Rs 1 crore to bring strength and stability into their lives.
Shri Arvind Kejriwal took to Twitter to announce the same and said, “We can never compensate for the loss of a loved one’s life but I hope this government job and an assistance of Rs 1 crore brings the family strength. We will continue to stand by them and support them whenever needed.”
The Chief Minister’s Office also shared a glimpse of the meeting on Twitter and wrote, “Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal today handed over a job certificate to Ankur Sharma, the brother of ex-IB staffer Ankit Sharma, who had passed away during the Delhi Riots. He has been appointed in Delhi’s education department. Last year, the CM had also handed over a cheque of Rs 1 crore to the family.”
At the same time, Deputy Chief Minister Shri Manish Sisodia tweeted, “Ankur Sharma, the brother of Delhi Riots victim and ex-IB staffer Ankit Sharma was given a job certificate by CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal. Ankur Sharma is being appointed to the education department of the Delhi Government.”
After receiving the certificate from the CM, Ankur Sharma said, “My brother Ankit Sharma died during the Delhi Riots. Since then, the Delhi Government has supported me and my family at every step. The CM provided us with financial assistance. Today, I have been offered a government job in the Delhi Government by the CM. I will always remain indebted to Shri Arvind Kejriwal, Shri Manish Sisodia and everyone at the Delhi Government for looking after our family.”
