pulwama:

i am kind of shocked that i didn't see anything regarding the pulwama terror attack in india. for those who don't know what recently happened, here:

there was a suicide bombing attack on a CRPF convoy in the Pulwama region of Jammu and Kashmir, on 14th February 2019. (CRPF is the Central Reserve Police Force.) this suicide bombing killed at least 40 CRPF paramilitary troopers. the terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammad has claimed responsibility.

a 78 vehicle convoy was escorting more than 2500 CRPF jawans from Jammu to Srinagar. ("jawan" is a term we use for a soldier in our army)

a 20 year old has been identified as the suicide bomber, Adil Ahmed.

this was the deadliest terror attack witnessed in 3 years of Kashmir's insurgency.

on Thursday, the JeM bomber rammed his SUV loaded with 350 kg of explosives into one of the buses, carrying 35-40 troopers. more than 40 jawans lost their lives, and many others who are injured, continue to battle for theirs.

this surprise attack left the nation in shock and anger. it was all we talked about, it is all we still talk about. it doesn't sit well with us, at all, that a terrorist killed people from our army, our jawans.

now Kashmir is already an area of high political and military tension. the situation in Kashmir has been tense since 2014 and there have been several deadly attacks on soldiers. in the last 5 years in J&K, there has been a 93 per cent rise in death of security personnel. Pulwama region has been witnessing regular terror attacks in the past five years.

data shows that between 2014 and 2018, there has been a sharp rise in terror activities including attacks. (176% jump in terror attacks in Pulwama.)

The heinous incident has united all political parties across the country while leaders from all over the world have condemned the dastardly attack; the United States even went on to the extent of warning Pakistan to not harbour terrorism.

the aftermath of this crime, the political outcry has been witnessed by us all. the entire Opposition stands in solidarity with the security forces and government.

support and condolences have poured in from countries around the world. over 45 countries including the US and China reacted to the dastardly attack on CRPF jawans.

(pls feel free to reblog with more information about this.)
