For #Us we only #LooseSoldiers BUT We can’t even begin to imagine the #Loss of the #Parents who loose their #Son, #Sisters who loose their #Brother, #Wives who loose their #Husband and #Children who loose their #Father .... SAY NO TO A WAR Or GO FIGHT IT YOURSELF ..!''. Nakuul Mehta also called for peace in his post. His caption reads, ''War is NOT, will not and cannot be the answer.

The tension between India and Pakistan escalated after India lost 40 CRPF personnel in a suicide attack in Kashmir's Pulwama. Pakistan-based Jaish-e- Mohammad claimed that it carried out the attack. To avenge the loss, India said that it launched an air strike in Pakistan's Balakot killing approx 300 militants. However, Pakistan has another version of the air strike conducted by India. A day later, Pakistan Air Force targeted military installations in India in response to India's counter-terrorism operations but their attempts were foiled successfully, External Affairs Ministry said. Reacting to it, Pak claimed that it shot down Indian military aircraft flying over its air space and arrested a pilot. It also released a video of blindfolded Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman.
