| Hawala cases may return to haunt separatists | | 'Properties from Lal Chowk to Pahalgam under scanner' | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Dec 8: Police and security agencies are mulling to reopen the old Hawala cases registered against the separatists and their aides since 1990, sources told Early Times.
They said the decision to reopen the pending cases has been taken to tighten the noose around separatists and to end the protest calendars being issued by them. "There are inputs that separatists and their aides are sponsoring the stone pelting and other incidents covertly," sources added.
Insiders revealed that separatists had assured the people at the helm that they would stop issuing the protest calendars and call off the strike. "They (separatists) have not kept their word and are sailing in two boats. On one hand they are trying to be in the good books of the people at the helm while on the other hand they are appeasing their mentors sitting across the Line of Control (LoC) by not allowing normalcy to return," they added.
A Kashmir watcher said, "Many separatists in Kashmir have acquired benami properties in the Valley. If the government decides to reopen the Hawala cases and hold a probe into the properties being owned by them it would prove to be the last nail in their coffin."
He said, "From Lal Chowk to Pahalgam separatists own shopping complexes to hotels at different places and they have purchased these assets due to the Hawala money they received from different channels during the past 27-years of turmoil in Kashmir."
Sources said, "After the demonetization move the Government of India (GoI) is planning to look into the huge assets which have been acquired by the separatists during all these years as they have no known source of income."
Insiders revealed that government has decided to hit the separatists hard so the hartal culture they are thriving on comes to an end. "The proposal to reopen the Hawala cases has been moved and it is awaiting final nod from the higher ups," they added.
An analyst said, "After the demonetization move separatists stand cornered but they are hoping that their mentors would find ways and means to pump in money into Kashmir again so that they can run their shops that's why they are carrying on with these so-called protest calendars, which people are not following anymore."
He said, "If government tightens its noose it can make separatists succumb as they would not like old cases to be reopened and they losing their properties, which they have made by selling the blood of people." |
