PM Modi paid homage to the security personnel calling them “exceptional individuals” who devote their lives to protect the nation.

The singer who is always seen in duo with Shekhar Ravjiani, remembered the martyrs in a tweet saying. “1 year ago, in #Pulwama, 40+ soldiers were killed when a car full of RDX exploded while travelling along with a convoy of soldiers. Deepest condolences to their families and all of India. Some questions were asked then, that still remain unanswered.” He also tweeted a picture of a newspaper with questions.

Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party, expressed his emotion in Hindi on Twitter and wrote, “A soulful tribute to soldiers who martyred on this day in the Pulwama terrorist attack.”

In February 2019, a convoy of 78 buses carrying around 2,500 CRPF personnel was attacked by a vehicle-borne suicide bomber of Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad outfit. His sneak attack on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway in Pulwama district, resulted in the deaths of 40 CRPF personnel and the attacker.

Weeks later Indian Air Force (IAF) jets bombed a JeM camp in Balakot in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
