The mortal remains of the slain CRPF jawans killed in the Pulwama attack by Jaish-e-Mohammed on Thursday are set to reach their homes today. It was last evening that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Minister Rajnath Singh, Congress President Rahul Gandhi, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal paid their last respects to the 40 Central Reserve Police Force soldiers as their bodies reached the Palam airport. PM Modi and the other leaders laid the wreath on the coffins, wrapped in the national flag.

I have spoken to him twice, including this morning… and expressed US’ condolences over the terrorist attack,” he told news agency PTI.
