National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval on September 7 stated that about 230 suspected militants are trying to cross into Kashmir from Pakistan, reports India Today. He also added that large number of weapons were also being smuggled into the state. According to military officials, the number is based on radio intercepts and intelligence from the ground.
Regarding the restriction in Kashmir, NSA stated that “We would like to see all restrictions go, but it depends on how Pakistan behaves. It's a stimulant and response situation. If Pakistan starts behaving, terrorists don't intimidate and infiltrate Pakistan stops sending signals through its towers to operatives, then we can lift restrictions.”
