On February 26, 2021, the famous Balakot Airstrike, which was the first aerial assault carried out by India in Pakistan after the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war, completed 2 years. The Balakot Air Strike was conducted in response to the deadly Pulwama terror attack that had claimed the lives of 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Jawans. This airstrike was the brainchild of National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval and was permitted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the security forces were given a free hand to avenge the worst terror attack on Indian forces in many decades.
