June 5, 2023, 4:28 pm

A massive crackdown on terror supporters in Jammu and Kashmir following the abrogation of Article 370 has severely weakened separatists and Pakistan-sponsored terrorists. ‘Naya Jammu and Kashmir’ is now free from terrorists and their sympathizers, fostering peace and progress.

Terrorist supporters have been held accountable, with seized properties and dismissals of anti-national government employees. Since 5 August, 2019, security agencies launched “Operation All Out” to dismantle the terror ecosystem.

Successful measures include identifying and neutralizing over-ground workers and banning separatist organizations while blocking their funding channels. Law enforcement actions have brought relief to the common people and silenced those who used to threaten residents.

‘Exporter of terrorists’: India slams Pakistan at 146th Inter-Parliamentary Union

March 14, 2023, 1:35 pm

India slammed Pakistan at the 146^th Inter-Parliamentary Union Assembly in Bahrain on Monday. In its speech at the IPU Assembly, Pakistan referred to Kashmir in its usual manner. India in a Right to Reply slammed Pakistan terming it an “exporter of terrorists”. India also reiterated that Pakistan has no right or capacity to bring an action or to appear in court on Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

Rajya Sabha MP Sasmit Patra, in his speech, said: “It is unfortunate that Pakistan has chosen once again to misuse the august platform by mentioning in their statement about Jammu and Kashmir which is an integral part of India. This mentioning is completely unacceptable.”

Patra further said, “The Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh have been and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of India. No amount of rhetoric and propaganda from any country can override this fact. Pakistan has no locus standi to comment on India’s internal affairs. We have repeatedly called upon it to vacate the Indian territories under its illegal and forcible occupation with immediate effect. It is ironic that a country, which is a known exporter of terrorists, and responsible for inflicting countless cross-border terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir is claiming to champion the cause of human rights.”

The comments made by Pakistan’s foreign minister, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, on the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir during a discussion on “Women, Peace and Security” at the UN Security Council in March were described as frivolous, baseless, and politically motivated by India’s permanent representative to the UN, Ruchira Kamboj.

She had said: “It’s unworthy to even respond to such malicious and false propaganda.” Kamboj said, “Our focus has been and will always be positive and forward-looking.”
India slamming Pakistan at the global Parliamentary body, yet again exposed the latter’s false propaganda on Kashmir.
India’s heft and prowess on the international parliamentary platform has been acknowledged and appreciated by other member countries.

Peace flourished in J&K after strong action against terror

October 7, 2022, 1:02 pm

Terrorism is not a new term when it comes to Jammu and Kashmir. People of the state have lived in fear for several decades. Over the past thirty years, violence and the killing of innocents in Jammu and Kashmir became a common events. The killing and fear are directly proportional to the number of Pakistani and local terrorists operating in the former state.

Home Minister Amit Shah was on a three-day visit to J&K.Data collected from the J&K Police and the security agencies were shared with Shah during his security review meeting in Srinagar. The data revealed that the total number of local terrorists has touched an all-time low of around 60. The number of foreign terrorists has also come down from three to two figures after 47 of them were killed by the security forces. This could be possible only because of the synergy between law enforcement and central intelligence agencies.

The security forces killed down several terrorists and the active terrorists are in fear because the coordination has resulted in actionable intelligence and precise counter-terror action with awareness of the agencies on social media and terror channels. Counter-terror data reveals that the total number of terror-related incidents has decreased from 417 in 2018 to 110 up to September 30 2022, with 255 incidents in 2019, 244 in 2020, 228 in the entire 2021 and 90 up to September 30 2021.

The counterinsurgency grid’s activation and the effective action of the JKP, Security Forces, and Special CT forces of the Indian Army are to blame for the decrease in terror-related occurrences. The security forces arrested 847 terrorists/suspects booked in 2018; 609 in 2019; 781 in 2020 and 741 in 2021. Figures reveal that the number of terror modules busted by the security forces has gone up to 111 till September 30, 2022, while it was 82 during the same time last year.

The terror recruitment level has also come down to 89 this year as compared to 108 during the same period last year. But the recruitment numbers were a high of 206 in 2018, 143 in 2019, 172 in 2020 and 137 in the entire 2021.
While the Modi government is focusing on the socio-economic empowerment of the UT people, the peace is being maintained by counter-terror actions in the entire troubled land.
