Pulwama terror attack is the centre for all the developments happening between India and Pakistan. Earlier in the day, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan in a televised address on a Pakistani TV channel said that his country will not think to retaliate but will retaliate if India attacks them after the Pulwama incident. Imran Khan rejected India's claim that Pakistan was behind the attack, even after terror outfit based in Pakistan Jaish-e-Mohammad claimed the responsibility.

Presuming any action from India after the Pulwama incident, Pakistani Army personnel have replaced Pakistani rangers and other teams at various border posts in PoK and Pakistan. The terror camps have been also shifted towards Pakistan's army base, about 10-15 km inside.

The Pulwama terror attack is being seen possibly the worst attack targeting the Indian armed forces were 40 CRPF personnel were martyred and several injured when an SUV loaded with explosives blew off near an army convoy having 78 buses.
