Two pilots dead as IAF Jet crashes in J&K's Budgam due to 'technical snag'


Srinagar, Feb 27 (Agencies): An Indian jet crashed in J&K’s Budgam on Wednesday, a day after the IAF destroyed the biggest Jaish-e-Mohammed terror camp in Pakistan in a pre-dawn operation.

Meanwhile, the tension between the two neighbours after the Pulwama attack escalated further, with cross-LoC trade being suspended and border skirmishes continuing till early morning. All eyes are now on Pakistan PM Imran Khan's address to the joint session of parliament where he is expected to respond to India’s strike.

Amid the heightened tension, US has urged Pakistan and India to exercise restraint. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he has spoken to Pakistani foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, and urged the two nuclear-armed rivals to "avoid escalation at any cost". Meanwhile, Sushma Swaraj on Wednesday raised the recent Pulwama suicide attack on CRPF soldiers in her bilateral meeting with Chinese counterpart Minister Wang Yi.

    Who is going to take the blame, Is it Modi or WE or should we blame Modi or Us? Guys do you know the impact of attack and war? we know it well while we are staying here. Do you'll know what will be condition of our country? Our country is still struggling for economic growth. youths are still struggling for a proper and a right job, farmers are crying for their dues, etc etc etc, in between Modi is spending our tax money for his leisure for his unwanted promises.
    Maybe all you guys know that all out CRPF jawan who were martyred are been helped by the public but not by the government? Yeah Modi as promised to put up a monument instead of helping them with that money.
    I am sorry if i have commented anything wrong or the fact or anyone is hurted with my comment.

    You say and i reproduce here

    " Maybe all you guys know that all out CRPF jawan who were martyred are been helped by the public but not by the government? I am sure you do not know that the government also spends money from the tax payer and that is the public.

    Now can you give one suggestion to shut pakisthani factories producing terrorists?. if there are alternatives without a limited wat or a counter attack please suggest? should we meekly surrender to Paks provocation so that they keep on heaping insults on us. make up your mind

    Pakisthan will be in denial mode perennially. Enough proof of 26/11 was given. what did Pakisthan do?. You can never give proof to the satisfaction of Pakis. The Pakisthan who kept Osama bin laden in their country for such a long period of time cheating the world will never accept terror training camps. They have thoroughlly deceived everyone. not just India, Iran & Afganisthan have a long list of complaint against Pakisthan.

    Claims and counter claims & denials started pouring in!
    Days an ahead will be crucial and full-fledged war may be in the making.
    Igniting the war is easy but to contain the same is a big question mark. ?

    Sudhakar,

    Stop talking about the things you know nothing about. Yes you can still use bullock cart to travel but does it mean its better than cars?

    India needs to acquire Rafale as soon as possible. Politicians need to stop playing stupid games to win stupid points.
