Early Times Report
Jammu, May 12: Security agencies are facing multiple challenges in Kashmir while dealing with the Pakistan sponsored insurgency and radicalism.
Sources told Early Times that besides terrorists, there are elements within a few organizations, who have become active and are brainwashing the youth. "These elements are motivating youth to pick up the arms and join the militant ranks," they added.
In a related development Police on Saturday arrested a top Jamat-e-Islami leader and his son during a raid in south Kashmir's Anantnag district.
Sources said that the police raided the house of Gulzar Ahmad Bhat and detained him along with his son Aqib Gulzar. Earlier in the day, Srinagar district president of Jamat-e-Islami was booked under Public Safety Act.
Insiders said that during the past few years Jamaat-e-Islami is carrying out its activities covertly to put the youth on a path, which leads to destruction. "People sitting across the Line of Control (LoC) are using all their resources to rope in the new people who can act as their stooges and turn Kashmir into a battlefield," they added.
They said that people sitting across the LoC have realized that their established stooges like Hurriyat hawk, Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Hurriyat dove, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and so-called JKLF chief Yasin Malik have lost relevance and their henchmen have deserted them. The second rung separatists have been booked by the National Investigating Agency and have been put behind bars. "Entire separatist coterie has been turned irrelevant. To keep the pot boiling bosses of the separatists have roped in the new people," they added.
Sources said that Jamaat activists are emerging as main players and are casting their net across the Valley. "These people are influenced by a particular ideology and are trying to radicalize entire Kashmir. Teenage boys are being turned into cannon fodder and are being given the AK-47 riffles to wage a war against India," they added.
An official said that agencies are keeping a close watch over the activities of Jamaat activists. "We know that these people are emerging as a threat and they can prove to be a big challenge in the near future," he said. "We know what they are upto. The Jamaat activists who have become active already have an antinational background. They are being watched and nailed."
A source said, "Jamaat activists had voted for the Peoples Democratic Party in droves in 2014 elections and they are being protected by the politicians who are in power." |
