The 2019 Pulwama attack occurred on 14 february 2019, when a convoy of vehicles carrying indian security personnel on the Jammu–Srinagar National Highway was attacked by a vehicle-borne suicide bomber at Lethapora (near Awantipora) in the Pulwama district of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. The perpetrator was identified as Adil Ahmad Dar, a 22-year old from Kakapora. The attack killed 40 indian Central Reserve police Force (CRPF) personnel as well as the perpetrator—Adil Ahmad Dar—who was a local Kashmiri youth from the Pulwama district.
Dar became radicalized after he was beaten by indian police.
The responsibility for the attack was claimed by the Pakistan-based Islamist terrorist group, Jaish-e-Mohammed. India blamed neighbouring Pakistan for the attack, while the latter condemned the attack and denied having any connections to it. The attack dealt a severe blow to India–Pakistan relations, consequently resulting in the 2019 India–Pakistan military standoff.
Subramanian swamy tweeted today that tamil Nadu is today under threat of a pre-2019 kashmir type anti national uprising. TN cm must be given a RAW/IB Dossier on it. Rather than President's Rule in the State, the Centre should post Central forces of CRPF and BSF in three adjacent districts of Madurai.
