NP NEWS 24 ONLINE:     A heart-wrenching news came in light in 14th February, after nearly 46 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed and many others injured when terrorists targeted a convoy with a car bomb at Awantipora in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district which is known to be the worst attack ever on security personnel in the state.

Today morning, Finance minister Arun Jaitley, home minister Rajnath Singh, PM Narendra Modi, external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj and defense minister Nirmala Sitharaman had a meeting a regarding the security.

After the meeting, Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley stated that “The tag of “Most favored nation” given to Pakistan will be taken off. On the political and international ground, Pakistan will be boycotted. Pakistan will get a strong response of this attack.”

According to the report, the vehicle used by the terrorists was a Mahindra Scorpio carrying more than 350 kg of explosives. The injured have been moved to the army base hospital in Srinagar, 20 km from the attack site.  Pakistan-based terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The terrorists triggered the car bomb while 78 vehicles with over 2,500 CRPF men were on the Srinagar-Jammu highway. The stretch on which the incident occurred had been sanitized earlier in the morning, and authorities have termed it as a “serious breach” of security.

The government demanded that “Pakistan stopped supporting terrorists and terror groups operating from their territory” and has appealed to the international community to support the proposal to list terrorists, including Jaish-e-Mohammed Chief, Masood Azhar, as a designated terrorist under the 1267 Sanctions Committee of the UN Security Council.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted that the sacrifices will not go in vain. “The attack on CRPF personnel in Pulwama is despicable. I strongly condemn this dastardly attack. The sacrifices of our brave security personnel shall not go in vain. The entire nation stands shoulder to shoulder with the families of the brave martyrs. May the injured recover quickly.”

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, visited Srinagar to review the situation, has assured that a strong response will be given to the terror attack.
