14 February 2019 is recorded as a black day in Indian history. On the same day, a very tragic incident took place, in which a Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist hit a bus of CRPF jawans with a vehicle filled with explosives in Pulwama district. In this suicide attack, 40 soldiers were martyred and many were seriously injured. This incident shocked the entire country and since then this day has been recorded as Black Day.
The pain of the families is still alive
The family of martyr Jaimal Singh, resident of Moga, Punjab, remembered that dark day. The father told that a road is being built in his name, which gives a feeling of both pride and pain. The mother said that for a mother, the loss of her son puts life on hold and this pain never ends.
The wife emotionally said that life is very difficult without him, but she has to take care of herself to raise the son. He told that his son has now grown up and is concentrating on studies. He misses his father, but understands that what happened cannot be changed.
India’s counter action
A few days after the attack, India conducted an airstrike in Balakot, Pakistan, which came to be known as Balakot Airstrike. Through this action, terrorist hideouts were targeted and the message was given that the country will not let the martyrdom of its soldiers go in vain. Pulwama attack is still alive in the memory of the country. Even after seven years, the pain of the families of the martyrs and the tears in the eyes of the country remind us of that day. This black day teaches the country to remain united against terrorism.
