India responded to attack by conducting a surgical strike-

On the morning of February 14, 2019, Pakistani terrorists attacked a CRPF bus in Pulwama in the Kashmir valley. At that time, 40 CRPF jawans traveling in the bus were martyred. This incident shook the entire country. Jaish-e-Mohammed, a Pakistani terrorist organization, was behind this cowardly attack. In response to this attack, the Indian Army also carried out a surgical strike in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This bold decision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was also supported by Indian citizens.

Pakistan Connection
