ISIS has taken roots in Kashmir 6/13/2019 11:50:06 PM Had not the security grid been tightened during the month of Ramadan there would have been more incidents of violence killing militants, civilians and security personnel. At least 35 persons-militants, civilians and army personnel-were killed in militancy related incidents during the holy month of Ramadan this year in Kashmir. Unlike last year, the anti-militancy operation was not halted during Ramadan, which began on May 7. The first operation against militants was launched at Ram Nagri area of south Kashmir's Shopian district on May 10 in which one militant of Islamic State of Jammu and Kashmir (ISJK), who hailed from Sopore was killed. Police, however, said he was affiliated with Harkatul Mujahideen group, one of the oldest militant groups. The statistics reveals that 35 persons were killed during Ramadan from May 10 till June 3 in separate incidents of militancy in the valley. Of them 27 were militants, six civilians and two army men. Of the five civilians one was killed during a gunfight between militants and government forces at Dalipora in Pulwama while four civilians died in separate attacks by unknown gunmen in south Kashmir. This indicates that militants know not the rituals of religion and even during the month of fasting they resort to killing of civilians and security personnel. And one has come across several incidents where during the encounter between militants and the security forces civilians throng the area either to divert the attention of the security forces or be instrumental in killing of some civilians which later turn into the scenes of violence. And despite the claim of the police that the slain militant belonged to Harkatul Mujahideen was in fact a member of the ISIS. And the US Government and New Delhi that has already cautioned the two Governments that since the birth of ISIS in Kashmir the situation may turn violent and for that the security has to be upgraded. And since the onset of annual Amarnath pilgrimage the ISIS could play a negative role by attacking some pilgrims and security personnel thereby creating some scare so that lesser number of pilgrims could visit the mountain shrine.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
