Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday paid floral tributes to the 40 CRPF personnel killed in a car bomb blast in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district in 2019.

Gandhi, who is in the last leg of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, laid a flower bouquet at the spot where the CRPF bus was blown up by a Jaish-e-Mohammad suicide bomber along the Jammu-Srinagar national highway four years ago.

The Yatra, which is heading towards Srinagar, stopped briefly to pay homage to the slain CRPF personnel.

The Congress tweeted photos of Rahul Gandhi laying a bouquet at the spot where the security force's bus was blown up in February 2019.

The tributes came days after senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh stoked controversy by demanding a report on the 2019 Pulwama terror attack.
