| Finding it hard to infiltrate ultras, Pak-based outfits ask militants in J&K to do something big | | | BHARAT BHUSHAN
JAMMU, Aug 17: In the past less than one month, almost every Pak bid to infiltrate militants into J&K has failed. It, however, suffered the biggest blow on July 28 last following the detection of a tunnel in Samba sub-sector when it was almost ready for use as a secret infiltration route.
"Despite the international pressure on it to close down the terror shops on its soil, Pakistan continues to use backdoor methods to keep the pot boiling in J&K," a senior BSF officer said.
"Probably driven to despair after the tunnel detection, Pakistan has so far fired on seven occasions on the IB and the LoC but every time it failed to push militants into the state under the cover of its unprovoked fire," he added.
Their targets were Indian positions and the houses that fall in their firing range. Two BSF jawans lost their lives in the enemy action.
"In the last nearly one month, all the methods used by the neighbouring country to push ultras to this side of the border have failed," he asserted.
"In view of this, the Pak-based militant commanders have asked the ultras, who are already perched in certain hills of the state, to do something big," the officer added, quoting intelligence inputs.
"Their Pak handlers have told them that no one should talk peace in J&K which is possible only if they make fresh strikes," he said, sharing the details gathered by intelligence agencies through wireless intercepts of conversation between militant commanders.
This only showed their desperation, he said and added that forces were ready to foil any attempt by militants to disrupt peace in the state, and gun them down, the officer said.
''Those, who had completed their training in the Pak militant camps, are also being pressurised to sneak into the Indian territory and execute some big strike in the country," he added.
He said, with the strengthened security apparatus and strategy of eliminating top militant commanders operating in inaccessible areas across Jammu and Kashmir, militants were finding it difficult to maintain minimum number of cadres to continue their ''effective operations''.
The officer said the barbed fence and 24x7 foot patrolling by security forces along the IB and the LoC had further minimised chances of infiltration into the Himalayan state. ''Frustrated due to all these factors, the terror mentors in Pakistan are desperate to push in more militants in J&K,'' he added.
He said police and security forces had also reset their strategy to counter militants within the state and the militants, who happened to come to this side of the IB and the LoC.
