“The whole world has unified against terrorism, which is the greatest threat to humanity. He went on to say, “The Modi government is determined to completely destroy the terrorists by running a campaign with a ‘zero tolerance’ policy against them, whether it be through an airstrike or a surgical strike.”
Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, also honored the troops who died in the Pulwama terror assault.
Yogi said in a post on X that we are inspired to combat terrorism together by the gallant boys of Mother India’s sacrifice.
“My sincere condolences and admiration to all of the valiant, immortal warriors who were killed in the despicable Pulwama terrorist assault! We are motivated to combat terrorism together by the courageous boys of Mother India and their sacrifice. “Jai Hind,” said the CM.
Forty troops were killed on February 14, 2019, when a suicide bomber crashed an IED-laden car into a CRPF convoy. The Indian Air Force killed a “large number” of terrorists and destroyed their infrastructure on February 26, 2019, as it launched several aircraft attacks against JeM terror facilities near Balakot, Pakistan, days after the incident.
An alert IAF prevented Pakistan from launching an operation the next day to target Indian military sites in Jammu and Kashmir after the airstrike was conducted in the early hours of February 26.
Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who was pursuing Pakistani fighters in a MiG-21 Bison fighter plane during the engagement, crossed over to PoK and was shot down. Pakistan took him into prison. A fighter plane from Pakistan was also shot down by India.
