Pakistan based terror outfits, under the guidance from Pakistan’s notorious intelligence agency ISI have hatched a sinister plan to derail the government of India’s developmental initiatives in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. According to Intelligence sources, Pakistan’s top objective now is to create a deep fissure between the non-Kashmiris and Kashmiris in the state and thereby defeat the very purpose of invalidating Article 370.

Several phone intercepts from across the border reveal Pakistan’s wicked plan to disrupt peace in the Valley. A report about the same says that the plan has approval from many senior heads in the Pakistani Army as well the top echelons of its intelligence wing-ISI.

The plan dovetails perfectly with the recent cold-blooded murder of labours from West Bengal in Kulgam. This machination poses a threat to more than 20,000 migrant labourers and skilled workers settled in south Kashmir.

A senior IPS officer of the J&K Police said, “The ominous design reminds of the ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Pandits in early 1990s, when ISI-backed outfits targeted Pandits in the Valley resulting in the mass departure of one community.”

In addition, the security agencies have estimated that there might be around 500 active terrorists in the Valley which include about 200 trained Pakistani terrorists hiding in Kashmir. The intelligence inputs suggest that the terrorists may be hiding in the four districts of Shopian, Kulgam, Pulwama and Anantnag, the hotbed of terror activities in south Kashmir.

A source in the local intelligence network of the Srinagar police said, “Recently, ISI has changed its strategy by replacing local commanders with Pakistani commanders who have intruded from across the border. The Pakistani commanders are more dependable for the ISI handlers and more brutal than the local ones.”

The J&K police have started combing operations in the four districts to track down the terrorists and neutralise them. The Additional SP rank officer of the J&K police asserted that the police will find out and eliminate the Pakistani commanders before killing of non-residents becomes a pattern and spreads across the state.
