Nation expects action: Mohan Bhagwat on Pulwama attack

TIL Desk/National/Nagpur/ RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has said a response is expected from the Modi government to the attack on CRPF personnel in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama in which at least 40 CRPF personnel were killed. Speaking to the media in Nagpur, Mr Bhagwat said, “It is a cowardly act, we strongly condemn it. We expect action in response to this incident.”

“We have tolerated a lot and are still doing so, as seen from today’s incident,” he said. “They will get a reply (to the attack),” Mr Bhagwat said. NCP chief Sharad Pawar also condemned the attack and extended condolences to their families. “The cowardly attack on a convoy of CRPF and killing of Jawans in Awantipora, Pulwama district in Jammu and Kashmir is a condemnable act.

My condolences to the families of the martyrs who have sacrificed their lives for India,” Mr Pawar tweeted. The CRPF personnel were killed when a Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist rammed an explosives laden vehicle into the bus they were travelling in.
