| Pakistan's new strategy for maligning Indian troops | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu,January 19 :- Islamabad has embarked on a new strategy with an attempt to give legitimacy to the hike in the level of infiltration bids by militants into the Indian territory in Jammu and Kashmir.Despite the fact that militants tried to infiltrate into the Jammu sector from across Suchetgarh and Kanachak on Monday Islamabad blamed the Indian forces for having opened fire on the Pakistani pickets in Sialkot sector.
Official sources said that the killing of one BSF jawan in the firing opened by the Pakistani troops in Poonch sector reflects Pak strategy to assisting militants in crossing into Jammu sector.
Army sources in Jammu said that it was strange on the part of Islamabad that on one had its troops were aiding and assisting militants in sneaking into the Indian territory in Jammu and Kashmir on the other it accused the Indian forces of opening fire on the Pakistani posts.The sources said that all this was being fabricated to lend legitimacy to the rise in the rate of ingress.The sources said that the BSF soldiers,guarding the International Border,opened fire when they saw a group of militants trying to snap the barbed wire fence across suchetgarh.They said the moment the BSF opened fire the militants escaped and had not the Indian forces retaliated the militants,numbering more than five,would have sneaked into the Jammu sector.
The Army sources said that the nexus between the militants and the Pakistani troops and the Rangers was so intimate that it had become difficult for the Indian border guards to determine whether the gun fire from across the border was the machinations of the Pakistani troops or the militants who had been brought on the launching pads.The sources said that during the last 18 days as many as 12 infiltration bids had been made by militants from across Poonch sector and from across four sectors on the International Border right from Ramgarh to Akhnoor.
Police authorities said that repeated infiltration bids from the LOC and the IB in Jammu and Kashmir and the rise in the militant strikes in different parts of the Kashmir valley were aimed at forcing the moderate separatists to abandon their plan of getting engaged in talks with the Government of India.In fact militants operating in Jammu and Kashmir have been asked by their handlers across the LOC that they should stepup the level of violence so that separatists,especially those belonging to the All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) ,refused to accept the offer of talks from the Government of India.When two months ago both Prime Minister,Manmohan Singh,and the Union Home Minister,P.C.Chidambaram,expressed their willingness to reopen the channels of dialogue with the separatists the APHC leadership responded it by saying they were ready to hold parleys with Delhi.This is said to have upset Islamabad and reports said that when these separatists
were
invited to tea by the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi,during the visit of National Assembly speaker,Fahmida Mirza,where they were told to avoid holding talks with Delhi.They were suggested that they should campaign for the resumption of dialogue between Delhi and Islamabad which stands stalled for the last over one year.
Here again Islamabad seems to play politics.Delhi has conveyed to Pakistan that the composite dialogue will not be resumed till Islamabad took adequate steps for dismantling the terror infrastructure so that its soil was not used for exporting terrorism to India.Instead of conceding this demand from Delhi Islamabad had adopted a new strategy by blaming India for not resuming the composite dialogue.By doing so Islamabad wants to convey to the world that it was for settlement of all bilateral issues through talks but Delhi was not willing to respond.However,Delhi has decided to stick to its stand.
