Srinagar, Feb 14 (NationPress) Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha paid homage to the 40 CRPF soldiers who lost their lives in the Pulwama terror attack on this date in 2019. In his tribute, Amit Shah emphasized that the Narendra Modi administration is resolute in its commitment to entirely eradicate terrorism through a campaign of zero-tolerance.

“On behalf of a grateful nation, I extend my sincere tribute to the brave soldiers who were martyred in the despicable attack in Pulwama on this day in 2019. Terrorism poses the greatest threat to humanity, and the world stands united against it. Whether through surgical strikes or airstrikes, the Modi government is committed to annihilating terrorists with a zero-tolerance approach,” Shah remarked in a post on X.

J&K Lt Governor Manoj Sinha also honored the 40 CRPF personnel killed by a suicide bomber on February 14, 2019.

Sinha expressed in his post on X, “A heartfelt tribute to the valiant martyrs of the atrocious Pulwama attack of 2019. Their ultimate sacrifice for our motherland will always be cherished. The bravery and selfless dedication of our heroes will continue to motivate future generations.”

It is important to remember that a local terrorist from the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) group drove an explosive-laden vehicle into the CRPF convoy in the Lethpora region of Pulwama district, resulting in the deaths of 40 soldiers on February 14, 2019.

In response to the Pulwama terror attack, the Indian Air Force executed bombings on terror training camps deep within the Pakistani side of the Line of Control (LoC) in the Balakote area.

The decision for retaliation, taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was made after careful consideration of all potential outcomes. The Pulwama terror attack of 2019 had brought India and Pakistan to the brink of a warlike scenario. While Pakistan denied any damage from the Indian Air Force bombings of 2019, it ultimately failed to resist or respond to the overwhelming assault by the Indian forces.
