A convoy comprising of around 2500 Indian CRPF jawans and officers were struck by a car bomb on February 14, 2019 leading to the death of more than 44 CRPF jawans.
Terrorist outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed claimed responsibility soon after. It identified the suicide bomber as Adil, a resident of the Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir. Soon after the attack, a recorded video of Adil surfaced in social media where he clearly justified the attack.
After the attack, which is considered the biggest suicide attack in the history of Kashmir, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh reached Srinagar to access the security situation. On reaching Srinagar, Singh condemned this attack and implicated Pakistan.
This barbaric attack has also unleashed strong security measures from Indian security agencies stationed in the state. Many innocent Kashmiris are being held by the forces. Rizwan Mir, a social activist while talking to BE said if the Indian government claims that Kashmir is an integral part of the country, why are Kashmiri people living outside the state facing harassment.
The strong resentment targeted against general Kashmiri people across India is hampering the situation in the Kashmir valley.
