| New but disturbing trends in Kashmir | | | Prior to the sounding of a high alert in Jammu and Kashmir,Delhi and Gujarat the vale of Kashmir presented disturbing trends during the last about six months.These trends were witnessed whenever militants got killed in encounters with the security forces.And people have given vent to their sympathy for militants in various parts of the Kashmir valley in recent days.Despite restrictions, a large number of people had participated in funeral prayers of a, Dawood Ahmad Sheikh, who was killed in Buchroo village of Kulgam district, on Sundaynight during an encounter with government forces. However, people defied restrictions and reached Qaimoh. They first participated in the Nimaz-e-Jinaza and later raised anti-India slogans. The authorities had imposed restrictions in Qaimoh and adjoining areas to prevent people from staging protest demonstrations. A complete shutdown is being observed on Monday in most parts of the Kulgam district in south Kashmir after a militant was killed in an encounter late last evening. All shops and business establishments remained closed in Khudwani, Qaimoh, Buchroo, Tarigam and Yaripora areas while as traffic was off the roads. An army trooper was also injured in the operation launched in Buchroo village of the district.The 21 year old Dawood was active since 2014 and the most wanted militant involved in a number of killings of army and police personnel.
If the vale of Kashmir continues to simmer with disgruntled people and militancy related activities,agencies across the border are keen to trigger trouble in the region of Jammu which,for the last several years, has remained peaceful.Hence these agencies want to devise new schemes for facilitating groups of militants in crossing into Jammu and Kashmir so that the level of violence was enhanced allowing Pakistan an opportunity for seeking international mediation or intervention for resolving the Kashmir issue. Field reports have indicated that yet another trans-border tunnel originating from Pakistan, detected 30 metres inside the Indian territory from the international border in the RS Pura sector of Jammu district has been detected, which is the fourth such tunnel found on the border since July 2012, exposing Pakistan's sinister game plan of trying to push _militants into J&K for staging terror attacks. The BSF has lodged a strong protest with the Pakistan Rangers and a written protest with pictorial evidence have been submitted to the Rangers on Friday. Senior BSF officers led by Jammu Frontier IG RK Sharma rushed to the spot near the Allah-Mai-de-Kothe (AMK) forward post of the BSF
Sources said that during the routine clearing of wild grass with the help of tractors, BSF men came across a stretch near the AMK post where they found the land had caved in and there was a big ditchAn excavator was pressed into service and the ditch was dug deeper to see if it was another tunnel digging activity by Pakistan and it turned out to be the one which would have facilitated infiltration of large group of militants.
In fact Pakistan Army and the ISI besides other non-official agencies like the extremists and the fundamentalists continue to be worried over major drop the level of militancy related violence.And if there have been some incidents in the shape of encounters between militants and the security forces it has been only in some areas of the Kashmir valley.This way agencies across the IB want that militants should cross into Jammu sector so that the region of Jammu too hit the newspaper headlines by kicking up militancy related violence. And once militants became active in the region of Jammu people too would start supporting them out of scare.This is what is happening in the Kashmir valley where people staged protest demonstrations whenever militants are killed in encounters with the security forces.Not only this: large number of people,irrespective of their age, remain present or even defy restrictions while participating in the funeral rites of slain militants.This is what has been happening in parts of south Kashmir,especially Pulwama and Shopian districts. And when three militants belonging to Hizbul Mujahideen were eliminated in an encounter with the security forces in Tral area of Pulwama district the other day a large number of people defied restrictions, imposed by the Government,to remain present during the burial ceremony of the three militants.This is a new trend emerging in Kashmir which is a cause of worry for the Government and the security forces. There used to be a time when call for shutdown given by the separatists would not evoke full response from people. However, during the last two months these calls for hartals evoke total response from the shopkeepers,transporters and others.An attempt is being made to enact the most alarming scenes that were witnessed in Kashmir between 1989 and 1993. This was the result of delay in the formation of a coalition Government and the failure of the state and the central Governments to grant some economic and political package as demanded by Mehbooba Mufti.Possibly the level of anger of people could witness decline if certain economic and political concessions were granted to Jammu and Kashmir. |
