| Lashkar incited border conflict may end soon: Experts | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Jan 12: The latest threat dished out by the Lashkar-i-Toiba Chief, Hafiz Saeed to India has clearly indicated that the Army functionaries in Pakistan continue to be influenced by Saeed and his policy.
Senior functionaries of the state police and the Army are of the opinion that the bizarre incident of killing two Indian soldiers in Mendhar sector had been conceived by the Lashkar chief but had been executed by the Pak soldiers.
They said that had not been Islamabad and its official agencies, including the Army, scared of terrorists, especially those belonging to Lashkar-i-Toiba, they would not have allowed Saeed, who has been named by New Delhi as the brain behind the 2008 Mumbai mayhem, to move freely.
These functionaries said that the way the IB and the LOC have witnessed repeated ceasefire violations during the last one year indicated that terrorists and extremists had become quite active in the border villages across the LOC and the IB.A senior police officer, wishing to remain unidentified, said that since large groups of terrorists, trained in 42 camps in Pakistan and occupied Kashmir, had been brought on the launch pads for sneaking into Jammu and Kashmir these very terrorists were goading the Pak troops to carve out infiltration route by engaging Indian forces in exchange of fire.
He said that during the last one year series of ingress bids were made by the militants but the Indian troops had succeeded in foiling over 90 per cent such infiltration bids. He said that this has caused frustration among the terrorist outfits and the Pak Army with the result they were trying to rationalize their frustration by resorting to repeated ceasefire violations.
Senior Army functionaries in Jammu believe that the border tension was going to be a short lived affair because Pakistan was in no mood to go in for another war against India as terrorists have destabilized peace in Pakistan by resorting to gun and grenade attacks on security convoys, camps, political leaders and on soft targets.
They also believe that by kicking up border conflict Pakistan wanted to divert the attention of its people who feel upset and angry over growing economic crisis and breakdown in law and order in the country. |
