| PAKISTANI AGENCIES ARE AGAINST SUPPLYING ARMS AND AMMUNITION TO LOCAL MILITANTS | | | Srinagar July 4: Pakistani agencies have placed all their eggs in the basket of foreign mercenaries,operating in Jammu and Kashmir,in order to counter Government of India's redrawn strategy on counter insurgency operations and on encouraging more local youths to surrender and seek rehabilitation.
Official sources said on Tuesday "Pakistani agencies have directed foreign mercenaries not to handover weapons and ammunition to local militants who had been lured by the Government's policy on surrender and rehabilitation."Since the Pakistani agencies were aware of the policy under which any local militant's surrender could be accepted only if he surrendered his weapon and ammunition they had fears that more of Pakistan arms and ammunition could pass on to the Indian security forces.
According to official sources here,the agencies,engaged in providing moral and material support to the militants,have instructed rebels from Pakistan,occupied kashmir and other countries to carry out armed strikes against the Indian security forces and political leaders on their own and avoid passing on arms and explosives to local
militants.
The sources said that this information was gathered from the interrogation of a group of militants who had surrendered before the security forces in Uri recently.
These youths,according to the sources,were local boys and had informed the security forces that it was now difficult for Kashmiri boys to get weapons from across the border as the Pakistani agencies feared that more weapons and ammunition could be recovered by the Indian security forces if the rate of surrender of local youths continued unabated.
Those who had surrendered in Uri had informed the security forces that the infrastructure for imparting arms training to militants existed at a number of places in Pakistan occupied Kashmir.
In addition to this,the Pakistani agencies have asked those youths belonging to Hizbul Mujahideen to show results before moral and material support could be given to them.
The Army Chief,Gen. J.J.Singh recently disclosed that between 1500 and 1600 militants were active in Jammu and kashmir.Referring to this statement senior police officers said that more than 70 per cent of these militants were foreign mercenaries belonging to Lashkar-i-Toiba,Al Badr, jash-e-Mohammad and Tehrikul Mujaideen.
These groups have instructions to suppress Hizbul Mujahideen so that the main string of the ongoing Jehad was in the hands of foreign mercenaries who were not prepared to accept the surrender policy because they know that in no circumstances they could be rehabilitated in Jammu and Kashmir since they were nonstate subjects.
Police sources said that the recent clash between foreign mercenaries and local militants in Jammu's Kot bhalwal jail was the manifestation of the growing rift between the boys belonging to Jammu and Kashmir and those from Pakistan and occupied kashmir.
The sources said that the recent attack on a muslim saint in Kashmir and two attacks on tourists in Srinagar were also engineered by foreign mercenaries who were against sufi culture and against shrine believers in the state.
