Pulwama Terror Attack: Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag Have Stern Words for Pakistan and Separatists

Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir is known for his stern views against Pakistan and separatists. Following the attack on CRPF convoy in Jammu and Kashmir’s Awantipora, Gambhir took to Twitter and had some stern words for Pakistan and separatists. The former cricketer was apparently infuriated as he believed that it is now time to answer Pakistan in a battleground. Apart from Gambhir, Virender Sehwag too tweeted after the attack. Pulwama Terror Attack: Here's What We Know So Far About The Suicide Attack That Killed 43 CRPF Jawans in Jammu And Kashmir.

“Yes, let’s talk with the separatists. Yes, let’s talk with Pakistan. But this time conversation can’t be on the table, it has to be in a battle ground. Enough is enough,” Gambhir tweeted hours after the attack on CRPF in the Kashmir Valley.

Sehwag, who was pained by the attack, wished speedy recovered to injured and also said there are no words to describe the pain. “Really pained by the cowardly attack on our CRPF in J&K in which our brave men have been martyred . No words are enough to describe the pain. I wish a speedy recovery to those injured. #SudharJaaoWarnaSudhaarDenge,” Sehwag tweeted. Jammu And Kashmir: Suicide Attack Kills 40 CRPF Jawans in Pulwama, JeM Releases Terrorist Aadil Ahmed’s Photo Who Carried Out Fidayeen Strike.

The Thursday's attack was one of the worst ever terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. A suicide bomber rammed his SUV packed with explosives into a CRPF bus on the Srinagar-Jammu highway in Pulwama district, killing at least 43 troopers and leaving the security established stunned. Pulwama Terror Attack: List of 42 Jawans on CRPF Bus Attacked By JeM in Jammu & Kashmir.

The Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) claimed responsibility for the attack and released a video clip of the suicide bomber, a 'commander' identified as Adil Ahmad Dar, which it claimed was shot before the young man carried out the strike in Lethpora, about 30 km from here.

While precise details of the attack were still unclear, police sources said the suicide bomber-driven SUV came along the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) bus when a 78-vehicle convoy carrying 2,547 security personnel was going from the transit camp in Jammu to Srinagar and rammed it into the bus around 3.15 p.m., triggering a deafening explosion.
