#PeaceNotWar #Pakistan - #India - What the #Pulwama Attack Means for #Kashmiris



As soon as the JeM claimed responsibility, the Indian government lost no time in pinning the blame on Pakistan for nurturing the group. The deadly nature of the attack and the number of casualties sparked anger in India, with many demanding an end to terrorism emanating from Pakistan. Many urged a repeat of the surgical raid carried out by the Indian Special Forces on terrorist launchpads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in October 2016, in response to the attack on Indian Army’s Uri brigade headquarters in north Kashmir in September 2016. The fact that the Pulwama attack was more lethal than Uri only reinforced those calls.
