Union Home Minister (UHM) Amit Shah, on July 1, charged the separatists with sending their own children to foreign countries for studies and jobs and misleading common youth of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), reports Daily Excelsior. Taking separatists to task, he said kin of one of the Hurriyat leaders was earning INR 3 million in a foreign country while children of another separatist Aasiya Andrabi were studying in the foreign countries. About 100 kin of the separatists were taking education in foreign schools but in J&K, they call for closure of educational institutions and mislead the people and youth of the Valley, he asserted and said 43 persons including 24 separatists have been arrested by the National Investigating Agency (NIA). Yet, UHM Shah said the Government will win hearts of the people in J&K and they will embrace us. The UHM was speaking in the Rajya Sabha (Upper House of the Indian Parliament) on statutory resolution seeking extension of President’s Rule in J&K by another six months beyond July 3 and a bill granting three percent reservations in Government jobs and educational institutions to the people living along the International Border (IB). The resolution as well as the bill were approved by the Rajya Sabha. The Lok Sabha (Lower House of the Indian Parliament) had approved them on June 28. President Ram Nath Kovind will now issue a proclamation extending President’s rule in J&K by another six months.

A total of 119 terrorists were killed so far this year (June 26, 2019) in Jammu and Kashmir by Security Forces (SFs), which also lost 24 personnel, Rajya Sabha (upper House of Indian Parliament) was informed on July 3, reports Daily Excelsior. Union Minister of State for Home Affairs G Kishan Reddy also said that 252 terrorists were killed in Jammu and Kashmir in 2018 when 44 SF personnel lost their lives. Replying to another question, Reddy said the number of misguided local youths joining militancy has shown a declining trend during the current year.

Continuing with crackdown against separatists and militants, the Central Government is reported to have decided to shift more separatists and militants, mostly Pakistanis, out of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and lodge them in the jails at New Delhi, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, reports Daily Excelsior on July 4. The decision comes on the basis of specific Intelligence inputs that stay of some of the separatists and Pakistani and Kashmiri militants in J&K jails wasn’t appropriate,” official sources said. However, in view of strict surveillance, installation of sophisticated gadgetry and other steps initiated by the Prisons Department, activities of separatists and militants including both Pakistanis and Kashmiri have been contained to quite an extent but it wasn’t possible for the Jail authorities from preventing meetings between family members, relatives and close contacts and, in their guise, some unwanted elements could also manage to meet the detenues. Sources said the Central and State Intelligence agencies were in constant touch with each other and Multi-Disciplinary Terror Monitoring Group was also watching activities of separatists and some of the Pakistani as well as Kashmiri militants lodged in different jails of the State. “The process is on and shifting will take place depending on case to case,” a senior official said. Earlier, he said, in April-May, some separatists and militants were shifted from J&K to the jails outside.

While the separatist leaders continued to mislead the Kashmiri youth prompting them to join militancy and stone pelting, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) has come out with a list of 14 prominent separatist leaders, whose family members and relatives were doing jobs or pursuing education in foreign countries, Daily Excelsior reports on July 4. “Some of the family members including children of the separatists were well-settled in the foreign,” the UMHA list accessed by the Excelsior revealed. It said a total of 210 kin of 112 separatist leaders were settled in foreign, doing jobs or studying in well-established institutions. Out of them, it has released names of 14 prominent separatists, whose kin were abroad even as the separatists continued to instigate the common Kashmiri youth to indulge in stone pelting or join militancy, thus, spoiling their career.

The Government of India on July 11 downplayed the threats by al Qaeda and Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) saying, they are not to be taken seriously, reports The Asian Age. Dismissing the threat video of al Qaeda ‘chief’ Ayman al-Zawahiri, where he is instigating bloodshed in Jammu and Kashmir, External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said that India has the capability of taking care of its territorial integrity and sovereignty and there is no need to take these threats seriously. “We keep hearing of such threats and it is not the first time that we received such a threat. I don’t think we need to take it seriously. Al Qaeda is a UN-prescribed terror organisation and their leader is a UN-designated terrorist. Our security forces are capable and equipped... They have the capability of taking care of our territorial integrity and sovereignty. Not to worry about these threats,” he said. Terming the pro-Khalistan group “Sikhs For Justice” a fringe group, Raveesh Kumar said that the organisation has no traction within the mainstream Sikh community and India takes no cognisance of what such fringe elements say.

Maintaining that terrorism will die its own death in Kashmir valley, Union Minister of State in PMO (prime Minister’s Office) with independent charge of North Eastern States, Dr Jitendra Singh on July 14 said that terrorism will vanish from the soil of Valley by this year, reports Daily Excelsior. Addressing a function in Katra, the Minister said the days are not away when there will be total peace in Kashmir Valley as the general masses are fed up with three-decade long gun culture now. He said the terrorists are on run as they are facing the heat of Security Forces (SFs) who have been given free hand by Narendra Modi Government in tackling the situation. The Minister said common masses are not cooperating with the separatists as they have seen through their game plan who exploited them and their children by diverting them to anti-national activities while sending their own wards for prime educational institutions and professional colleges outside the Valley and abroad. He said the changing situation in the Valley can be gauged from the fact that huge number of youths joined the recruitment rally in Valley recently. Dr Singh said there is a realization among the common masses in Kashmir that the separatists as well as mainstream parties have developed a vested interest in turmoil by making the common Kashmiri a scapegoat. The separatists and mainstream parties are enjoying at the peril of common man which they (common Kashmiris) are not going to tolerate any more now.”

Stone pelting incidents in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) have come down significantly from a high of over 2,600 in 2016 to barely a few dozen in the first half of 2019, Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) stated on July 14, reports Daily Excelsior. The arrests of miscreants involved in stone pelting incidents also have come down from over 10,500 to just about a hundred. According to the MHA statistics, there were 2,653 incidents of stone pelting in 2016 for which 10,571 miscreants were arrested by Police. However, among the arrested just 276 were sent to jail and others were let off with warnings. The killing of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militant Burhan Wani in 2016 saw a long spell of turmoil in the Kashmir valley, an unnamed MHA official said. There were 1,412 incidents of stone pelting in 2017 in which 2,838 trouble-makers were arrested and 63 of them were sent to jail. In 2018, there were 1,458 incidents of stone pelting in which 3,797 miscreants were arrested and 65 of them were sent to jail, as per the statistics. In the first six months of 2019, there were around 40 incidents of stone pelting in which about a hundred miscreants were detained, the official said. There has been a marked improvement in the security scenario in the Valley ever since the imposition of Governor’s rule on June 19, 2018, when the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) withdrew support to the Mehbooba Mufti-led Government, he said. After the six months of Governor’s rule, the President’s rule was imposed, which has been continuing. The Security Forces (SFs) eliminated over 240 militants in the State in 2018, while there has been a dip in injuries caused due to stone pelting, another official said.

Pakistan, which has sabotaged the previous peace initiatives between the two countries, must be hatching anti-Indian conspiracies around the Kartarpur Corridor too, warns Indian security experts, reports The Asian Age on July 23. Pakistan has nothing to do with the welfare of any minority community and its diabolic gestures will be exposed in coming times, said Dipankar Sengupta, a senior professor at the Jammu University. He said that Pakistan was taking advantage of the fact that there were more Sikh shrines inside its territory. "This is something of emotional significance and has emotional value to millions of Sikhs who live in India. What Pakistan does is that it takes advantage of the fact that many of the holy shrines of Sikhism are in Pakistan. They try to take advantage of the emotional assets that they have," Sengupta said. There are multiple pieces of evidence available in the public domain that establish Pakistan's consistent role in propagating the Khalistan propaganda. While it has been constantly pumping in huge sums of money in western countries to keep its objectives alive, it has also been trying to reach to Indian Sikhs. "Whenever Indian Sikhs travel on the other side, you have all these people trying to basically foment propaganda, disaffection, trying to look on for spies and so on and so forth. Unfortunately for Pakistan, its image has become so bad that nobody wants to be seen friendly with that country," Sengupta added.

Earlier, speaking at a think-tank in Washington on July 23, Imran Khan said though Pakistan’s Government had launched a “National Action Plan” against terrorism after the Peshawar school attack in December 2015, implementation began only after his Government came to power last year. “Until we came into power, the governments did not have the will to [implement the National Action Plan], because if you talk of militant groups, they still have about 30,000-40,000 people who are armed and who have been trained in some sort of a theatre, who fought either in Afghanistan or maybe in Kashmir,” Imran Khan said at the United States Institute of Peace, in the first clear admission by Pakistan that thousands of terrorists and training camps which have been active in Kashmir, still operate in Pakistan. Later in the day, He also pointed to the existence of at least “40 militant groups” in the period after the 9/11 attacks in 2001. Imran Khan’s remarks contradict the Pakistan Army’s position on the existence of terror groups.
