PM Narendra Modi pays tribute to Pulwama bravehearts, says India will never forget their martyrdom
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today paid his tribute to the 40 CRPF personnel who were martyred in the deadly Pulwama terror attack on February 14 last year. Taking to Twitter, Modi wrote, “Tributes to the brave martyrs who lost their lives in the gruesome Pulwama attack last year. They were exceptional individuals who devoted their lives to serving and protecting our nation. India will never forget their martyrdom.”
“Remembering the fallen CRPF personnel who were martyred during the dastardly attack in Pulwama (Jammu and Kashmir) on this day in 2019. India will never forget their sacrifice,” Rajnath tweeted. He said that the entire country stands united against terrorism and “everyone is committed to continue fight against this menace”.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday (February 14, 2020) made a stinging attack on the ruling Narendra Modi-led NDA government at the Centre and sought to know from it who benefitted the most from the Pulwama attack on its first anniversary. Taking to Twitter, the Congress MP raised three questions and sought to know from the BJP regime what came out of the inquiry into the February 14, 2019, Pulwama attack.
In the meantime, a memorial for the CRPF personnel, who were killed in the Pulwama attack, will be inaugurated at the Lethpora camp on Friday. “It is a way to pay homage to the brave jawans who lost their lives in the attack,” Additional Director General of CRPF Zulfiquar Hasan said on Thursday in Srinagar after a visit to the site where the memorial has been erected. The names of all the 40 personnel along with their pictures will be part of the memorial along with the moto of the CRPF- “Seva and Nishtha” (Service and Loyalty).
The memorial has been set up inside a CRPF camp adjacent to the place where the JeM terrorist had blown himself to a convoy of security forces. Almost all the conspirators behind the dastardly attack have since been killed with the last one being Qari Yasir, the self-styled chief of Jaish-e-Mohammad terror group, who was killed last month.
