Azhar’s Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) claimed responsibility for a suicide bomb attack in Kashmir’s Pulwama in February that killed 40 paramilitary police. JeM was also blamed for a high-profile attack on India’s parliament in 2001, and local media often calls Azhar the country’s “enemy No. In response to the suicide attack in Kashmir, Modi sent warplanes into the nuclear-armed neighbour to bomb what New Delhi called a militant camp. Modi has since made national security the main plank in the 39-day general election that began on April 11. On farm distress and unemployment they have nothing to say, but with all these things, they might only campaign on national security.”
