Jammu, Mar 9: Think-tanks in Pakistan are not happy with terrorist organization of Masood Azhar, Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM). They are seemingly unhappy with JeM not because it caused Pulwama massacre of 45 CRPF jawans on February 14. They are unhappy with it because the JeM claimed that it was responsible for the Pulwama terror attack on the CRPF convoy, which, according to them, hurt both Pakistan and the secessionist movement in Kashmir. They have welcomed the decision of the Imran Khan's Government to take actions against certain terror outfits.
"Therefore, Pakistan seems to have every incentive to clamp down on organizations that have now taken to pre-empting, even subverting, official diplomatic moves to keep Kashmir on the global agenda," they have said, and added that the JeM should not have claimed responsibility for the Pulwama attack .
"In this particular case that happened via a dubious responsibility claim for Pulwama and in the process, the indigenous self-rule movement in the valley may have been discredited due to allegations of 'foreign involvement," they have said.
"Look at the profile of the Pulwama bomber, who was born and bred in India-held Kashmir, and how he was treated by the security forces, and the rest will be self-evident. Ironically, given the JeM claim, the former Indian military commander in the area retired Lt-Gen D.S. Hooda's views did not get much traction in the media. Lt Gen Hooda said that because of the security forces presence along the LoC, it was impossible to smuggle across such a huge amount of explosives used in the Pulwama bombing, 350kg by some accounts. In his view, the explosives came from one of the camps of the Srinagar-Jammu road-widening project not far from the blast site," they have further said while tearing into the JeM.
At the same time, these think-tanks in Pakistan have virtually instigated separatist forces in Kashmir to intensify their anti-India activities, saying this will force New Delhi to quit the Kashmir Valley.
"I am convinced that the intensity of resistance to Indian oppression in the Kashmir valley will ultimately lead to a resolution of the Kashmir question which will have to satisfy the will of its valiant people," one of the think tanks in Pakistan has said. |
