The United Jehad Council (UJC), an alliance of 15 Pakistan-based terrorist groups headquartered in Muzaffarabad, Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), has labelled Sajjad Lone, a leader of the separatist All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC), as "a puppet of Indian intelligence agencies". The UJC, according to a media report, has opposed Sajjad Lone’s recent statement in Bandipore wherein he had criticised terrorist ‘commanders’ based in PoK and identified them as "escapists, who do not represent the Kashmiri people, their interests or aspirations". In a statement faxed to a Jammu and Kashmir-based news agency from Muzaffarabad, UJC spokesperson Sadaqat Hussain said Sajjad Lone has been "playing in the hands of Indian agencies and slinging mud on the Jehadi leadership".

While defending the presence of foreign mercenaries and justifying political killings, the Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen (JuM) said on August 9 that the separatist alliance All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) was against Jehad in Kashmir. "No doubt, it (Hurriyat) is a forum consisting of different parties, but we don’t have any good hope with it as the forum is practically against practical struggle — Jehad -directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally", ‘supreme commander’ of JuM, Ghulam Rasool Shah alias "General Abdullah" told a news agency in Kashmir, in an interview from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). Shah, who entered PoK after escaping police custody in Srinagar in February 2000, opined that any visit of the Hurriyat leadership to PoK would have no impact on the ongoing movement in Kashmir. Commenting on the killing of ruling National Conference (NC) by JuM, he said, "our principal stand is clear and categorical that everybody who is directly participating in forthcoming Assembly elections and strengthening the illegal occupation of India in Kashmir is our target." Defending the presence of foreign mercenaries in Jammu and Kashmir, the JuM ‘commander’ claimed that the role of "guest militants" in the State is ‘genuine’.

Approximately 40 foreign mercenaries belonging to the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) have reportedly entered Kashmir valley to carry out Fidayeen (suicide) attacks to disrupt Independence Day celebrations and the election process in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), a top police official said on August 14. "Four Fidayeen squads of ten militants each belonging to LeT and JeM have sneaked into Srinagar city to carry out sensational Fidayeen attacks on vital Government and security installations on the eve of Independence Day and the forthcoming assembly polls", Inspector General of Police (IGP) K Rajindra said in Srinagar. Among those who the police were specially looking for included Ghazi Baba, an ‘area commander’ of JeM, and suspected mastermind of the December 13, 2001 terrorist attack on Indian Parliament. The IGP also said that on top of the hit list of Fidayeen squads were J&K Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah followed by important civil and defence installations, including Radio Kashmir and Civil Secretariat in Srinagar. The IGP added that groups like Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen (JuM), Al-Umar Mujahideen and Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen (TuM) were likely to use every means to disrupt the August 15 functions and the electoral process in the State.

Addressing the nation from Red Fort in New Dehi on the occasion of Independence day on August 15, Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee said the forthcoming State Legislative Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) would usher in a new era for the people of the State. "The process of restoring peace and security in Jammu and Kashmir has reached a decisive phase... dates for elections have been declared... polls will be free and fair and nobody should have any doubt," the Prime Minister said. He appealed to the people of the State to come out in large numbers without any fear to participate in elections and said the atmosphere of fear must be removed. He also expressed hope that polls in J&K would create an atmosphere where the Kashmiri Pandits would be able to return home. He said, "We will have talks with elected representatives and organisations... the question of granting more autonomy to the state will be discussed." Warning that nobody would be allowed to disrupt the elections, he said the disinformation campaign launched from across the border regarding J&K elections must be exposed. Attacking Pakistan for continuing cross-border terrorism, the Premier said while Pakistan claimed to fight terrorism as part of the international coalition, it was promoting terrorism from across the border. "Pakistan wants to grab Kashmir through terrorism as it did not succeed in wars," he said. "We are committed to defeat the menace of terrorism being promoted from across the border," Vajpayee added reiterating that J&K was an integral part of India and would remain so.

In an interview to Britain’s Channel Four Television in London, Deputy Prime Minister LK Advani said India considers itself "at war" with Pakistan over Jammu and Kashmir, though there is no formal declaration of hostilities. He said, "When people ask me ‘will there be a war between India and Pakistan?’ They are obviously referring to a declared war like the one that had happened in 1971 or 1965. But for India, we are at war". Advani, who is on a three-day visit to the United Kingdom said there was no point in resuming talks with Pakistan until an end was put to cross-border terrorism. He said cross-border terrorism "is still considerable, although there has been some reduction in infiltration because of international pressure on Pakistan… however infiltration is only one aspect of cross-border terrorism. There are other components of cross-border terrorism—training of terrorists, financing them, providing arms to them, letting terrorist camps to continue to function on Pakistani soil." He accused Pakistan of planning to sabotage the forthcoming elections in Jammu and Kashmir by creating an atmosphere of fear in the State, but affirmed that the elections would be held on schedule and would be fully fair and free.

India, on August 29, condemned Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf for his assertion that he had not given any timeframe to the international community on stopping infiltration across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir. India said, this meant that Pakistan would continue to use terrorism as an instrument of state policy. Speaking to the media, an External Affairs Ministry spokesperson said, "His latest statement suggests that he will end infiltration only when he finds it opportune, in other words, Pakistan will continue to use terrorism as an instrument of state policy". Earlier, in an interview to the BBC, Musharraf had said, "We have not given any time limits. I said nothing is happening across the Line of Control. But of course one can imagine, unless there is some progress, some movement on Kashmir, some response and some reciprocation from the Indian side…How long will all this remain quiet for no movement on Kashmir".
