| Security forces told to thwart Pak designs on triggering violence in J&K | | | Jammu, Sept 16 : Besides separatists, several Pak agencies were active for derailing peace in Jammu and Kashmir. If inputs from intelligence agencies are to any guide these forces have joined hands for kicking up civilian strife so that parts of the state, especially the Kashmir valley, become a war zone between protesters and the security forces and between the two armies on the LoC and the IB in Jammu and Kashmir.
As per these inputs militants have been directed by their handlers across the LoC to mingle with groups of protesters and open fire on the slogan shouting boys for which the police and the CRPF would be held responsible. Senior sleuths of a number of intelligence agencies are of the opinion that on a number of occasions some youth had got killed in firing opened by the militants during the five-month long civilian strife in the Kashmir valley in 2010 in which in all 120 people were killed. Security experts have cautioned the state Government in general and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in particular against initiating any step that could lead to demoralization of police and the CRPF. They referred to the latest decision of Chief Minister to see the CRPF camp at Shopian to be shut and replaced by the men of the state police. They said that though this step was necessary to defuse the trouble but Omar should have done so without making public his decision on closing the CRPF camp.
Defence Ministry sources said that troops deployed on the LoC and the IB, have been directed to retaliate with full fury and force whenever Pakistan soldiers violated the ceasefire agreement and targeted Indian border posts.
Troops have been told that since the main purpose of Pak troops to violate ceasefire was to provide passage for militants waiting for crossing into Jammu and Kashmir for escalating the level of violence ingress bids have to be foiled at any cost.
In addition to this intelligence agencies have been told to coordinate their activities with the security forces so that the police, paramilitary forces and the Army carried out anti-insurgency operations only on specific information. These agencies have been also asked to step up their surveillance in all the border villages to prevent militants from carving out new hideouts.(KIP) |
