Security grid to be tightened as violence may escalate | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT JAMMU, Sept 11: With the clouds of financial collapse and political crisis threatening Pakistan former military ruler, Gen Parvez Musharraf, has announced his plan of contesting the next presidential election in Pakistan. "I wish to win the next election so that I am able to lift darkness out of Pakistan and bring light to people,"Musharraf told media in London, where he has been staying since 2008 when he lost power to Asif Ali Zardari. Musharraf is a shrewd politician and sensing the mood of the people of Pakistan,that ranges between despondency and frustration, the former President has announced his plan to context the next election which is due in 2013.Judged by the current level of financial stringency which could cause total financial collapse in Pakistan provided the Government did not initiate measures for adopting austerity and for generating added revenues Gen Musharraf believes that he could win the election as the level of financial crisis and political instability in Pakistan had touched new heights. In the context of these developments intelligence reports indicate that official agencies in Pakistan, especially the ISI, plan to engineer various subversive activities not only in Jammu and Kashmir but in other Indian states to create a situation in which Pakistan peoples' attention from the real internal problems was diverted. These intelligence inputs say that after the E id celebrations the security scenario in Jammu and Kashmir and other Indian states may witness further slump. These reports said that the Pakistan agencies have already brought several hundred trained militants, equipped with sophisticated weapons on the launching pads across Poonch, Rajouri, Akhnoor, RS Pura, Kupwara, Keran, Tangdhar and Uri for the purpose of pushing them into Jammu and Kashmir. Already more than 60 militants have crossed into Jammu and Kashmir during the last six months as per the official reports. However, unofficial reports said that more than 150 militants, trained in camps in Pakistan and occupied Kashmir, have crossed into Jammu and Kashmir during the last over six months. Most of these infiltrators belong to the dreaded Lashkar-i-Toiba outfit. Intelligence inputs revealed that Pakistani agencies have not decided to supplement the ongoing civil strife and protest r allies with subversive activities by the militants so that the attention of the security forces did not remain concentrated on stone throwing protesters. Reports said that even if some areas in the state were brought out of the ambit of the AFSPA the security forces have been directed to intensify their counter insurgency operations with the state and the troops have been asked to carry out round the clock patrolling on the LOC and the IB for foiling infiltration bids.
