In this connection, recently the Union Home Minister has given a call for ”wiping out terror” in Jammu and Kashmir indicating that enough is now enough as four decades of this grievous problem unleashed by Pakistan has been testing our collective patience. However, the need of the hour is making our borders totally impenetrable rather invincible. Therefore, Union Home Minister’s assertive call to security forces and the Jammu and Kashmir Police to never let any sort of complacency to set in instead to continue with coordinated efforts in wiping out this affliction once and for all from Jammu and Kashmir, assumes great importance. It is no denying the fact that strengthening the security grid has resulted into preventing commissioning of any mischief exploding into any violent attacks and other diabolic and hostile acts but lot more is needed to be done and that too, on a continuous basis.
In that, what was necessarily needed was meticulous and ”well planned” counter terrorism operations. The importance of seriousness accorded to the continuous attempts at regular intervals of Pakistani infiltration and inducting into our territories its trained and armed people to thwart each and every such attempt, can be seen in the high level security review meeting held at New Delhi which besides Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, was attended by the Lieutenant Governor and other top security and Police officers.
The vision of the Prime Minister to have a peaceful, prosperous and inclusive growth oriented Jammu and Kashmir could be possible with better and quicker results and with speed in the environs of totally finishing of the Pakistani malaise of thrust terror war on us. For that to be doubly ensured, it was imperative to making the International Border (IB) and Line of Control (LoC) “impregnable”. Not mincing any words, it could also be inferred to have all such loose points and porous spots along these borders identified and suitably plugged to prevent any type of infiltration. Unless that was done in the most effective way, much could not be achieved on the front and if achieved, that could be only a short term achievement to be reversed with fresh reinforcements and replenishing of armoury and arsenal smuggled in through weak and porous points used by the militants. The high level security review meeting presided over by the Union Home Minister must surely convey the intents and purposes of the Indian Government to ensure that the edifice of the remaining ”residue” of militancy crumbled as soon as possible in Jammu and Kashmir.
Terror ecosystem is an organised structure not only in terms of arms, ammunition, training and being sponsored and promoted by a belligerent neighbour and its various agencies but also by brainwashing the freshly recruited ranks and indoctrinating them to the hilt to be reduced to the lumps of spreading hate, terror and fear coupled with lawlessness and engaging security forces in combat operations even. What for and why, these misled and led astray young persons themselves do not know. The Government has fairly to note, as it is fully aware of the fact, that due to Pakistan’s state policy and desperation on account of meddling by various non-state actors, it will continue to push and send in infiltrators along with arms and ammunition into Jammu and Kashmir. Anti infiltration grid must, therefore, be further fortified and post infiltration attempts thwarted right before attempts to cause violence succeeded in any way. Last few years have amply demonstrated how the backbone of sponsored terrorism is weakened to be now fully broken to never ever resurrect. Impending and forthcoming elections in the near future to the UT Assembly demands more vigil and extreme caution as series of mischief must be presently under the ”stage” of being stitched by forces from across the border.
