On February 14, 2019, Valentine’s Day, in Jammu and Kashmir, a deluded kid crashed an explosive-laden truck into a CRPF convoy, murdering 40 CRPF members and leaving the video message “Don’t fall in love.”
Following the horrific Pulwama terror attack, the country reacted angrily and in unison, calling for India to avenge the victims.
Here are the things to know about one of Kashmir’s bloodiest terrorist strikes
On February 14, 2019, a militant struck a CRPF convoy of over 78 vehicles with an explosive-led vehicle in Pulwama, Jammu & Kashmir.
40 people were killed in the terror incident.
The attack happened in the J&K district of Pulwama in Lethaporra.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke about the Pulawama terror assault while remembering the sacrifice made by the CRPF troops.
The prime minister posted a message on Twitter that read, “Remembering our valiant warriors who we lost on this day in Pulwama.”
The terror incident inflamed the public’s resentment and prompted a widespread call for action against terrorists and Pakistan, the country that nurtures them.
Remembering our valorous heroes who we lost on this day in Pulwama. We will never forget their supreme sacrifice. Their courage motivates us to build a strong and developed India.
