Pulwama Terror Attack 2nd Anniversary; ‘Never Forget, Never Forgive’

February 14, 2021 marks two years of the Pulwama terror attack. 40 valiant and fearless Indian soldiers were killed after a suicide bomber rammed an IED-laden vehicle into the security convoy carrying them.
The day is thus considered a Black Day in Indian history.

Pakistan-based terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) claimed responsibility for the dastardly terror attack.
The attack on the CRPF convoy took place in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district on February 14, 2019.
A 22-year-old suicide bomber Adil Ahmad alias Wakas Commando rammed the explosive-laden vehicle into the bus. The convoy had 78 buses in which around 2,500 personnel were travelling from Jammu to Srinagar.

A memorial having names of all 40 jawans killed in the attack was inaugurated on February 14, 2020, at CRPF’s Training Centre at Lethpora Camp in Pulwama. The memorial is inscribed with the names of all the 40 troopers along with their photographs and the motto of the CRPF “Seva and Nishtha” (Service and Loyalty).

Union Home Minister Amit Shah tweeted,
” I bow down to the brave martyrs who lost their lives in the gruesome Pulwama attack on this day in 2019.
India will never forget their exceptional courage and supreme sacrifice”.

Assam Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also paid his tributes to martyred soldiers.
“Tribute to our warriors who sacrificed their lives in #PulwamaAttack.
We shall forever be indebted to your valour
Jai Hind #PulwamaTerrorAttack” the minister Twitted.
