| New J&K infiltration strategy worries Army | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | Aug 31
A day after the terror attack in Jammu, there are fresh concerns.
Security forces say this incident indicates a change in strategy of militants and the Pakistani Army. The militants infiltrated from Pakistan by cutting the fence on the international border.
The Indian Army's extra vigil all along the Line of Control (LoC) this summer has prevented many terrorists from infiltrating into Kashmir.
So, the Pakistani Army is now encouraging infiltration through the International Border by providing cover fire to terrorists.
S Virk, DIG of Border Security Force, says: "It is clear that militants from the Pakistani side or may be the forces of Pakistan or their agencies who are doing all this, these people want to disturb the atmosphere in India and they want to resort to violent means to weaken the state."
There have been 33 ceasefire violations and over 200 infiltration attempts both along the IB and the LoC so far this year.
Many believe Pakistan's internal problems are at the heart of the trouble: instability within the government and a tussle for power with the ISI.
And with the ruling coalition in Pakistan still very shaky, New Delhi isn't sure who and what its dealing with.
With the LoC becoming almost difficult to cross this year, terrorists based in mainland Pakistan are now attempting to breach the IB closer to Jammu clearly to create further trouble in the already disturbed area. |
