| Pak-based terror groups pledge to intensify attacks in J&K | | | early times report
JAMMU, July 2: Even as Pakistan faced a pressure from the international community to close down all the terror camps on its soil, several terror groups, including Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), were said to have threatened to continue militancy in Jammu and Kashmir.
A similar threat was given by various militant outfits in April last year in a rally held at Kotli in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), official sources said.
"The new threat has come to keep the pot boiling in the state," the sources added, quoting intelligence inputs.
Sources said the outfits dared to continue militancy at a time when international pressure was being exerted on Pakistan to deal sternly with militants and close down all terror camps operational on its soil.
Though militant groups, based in PoK, had maintained a low profile over the past few years, there had been a marked spurt in their activities during the past some time, the sources added.
Sources said trained militants had been waiting in the forward Pak posts for an opportune moment to cross over into India to give life to the dying militancy in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Indian security agencies had, however, been maintaining a tight vigil along the borders with Pakistan to foil any intrusion bid by the militants, the sources added.
Ambushes were also being laid by troops during night on the known infiltration routes across the region.
Sources said the troops were maintaining a special vigil around the rivers and rivulets as there was not much water in them due to dry season nowadays and there was a possibility that militants could wade through them to sneak into India.
Meanwhile, India has time and again told Pakistan that bilateral talks with it could move further only if Islamabad acted against the anti-India terror groups flourishing on its soil and stopped them from using its land for activities against India.
India has also asked Pakistan to take action against LeT founder and JuD chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, the mastermind behind the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Pakistan has, however, maintained from the very beginning that there was no evidence that would allow it to prosecute Saeed.
