JAMMU, Oct 6: Referring to the continuing military encounter in the Keran sector in North Kashmir, BJP National Executive Member & J&K chief spokesperson, Dr Jitendra Singh said here today that there is more to it than meets the eye and that “Keran” is a forewarning of what may unfold in the months to come as a part of a well worked out Pakistan strategy which also includes pushing in of Afghan militants into Jammu & Kashmir around the turn of year or beginning of 2014.
Quoting Intelligence sou-rces, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) has, in its latest report to the Center, confirmed that Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) patron and 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed continues to camp in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) where he is said to be giving final shape to a fresh strategy according to which, after the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan, hordes of Afghan “Mujahideen” would be sent across the border into India.
Dr Jitendra Singh said the series of recent terror attacks on Indian security persons including the 26 September surprise attack at Hiranagar police station are not incidental and should not be seen in isolation as the RAW report also categorically states that there will be attempts by terror groups to carry out strikes against “vulnerable off-duty men” of the security forces.
According to Dr Jitendra Singh, the resurgence in Pak sponsored proxy war may also have to do with an internal power struggle currently going on within the Pakistan Army. He said, the present Pakistani Army chief, Gen Ashfaque Parvez Kayani, is expected to retire in November and one of the reasons for the uptick in infiltration bid on the LoC is the ongoing visible jostling for the Army chief’s post in Pakistan. The search for Gen Kayani’s successor is believed to be on in Pakistan even as reports pinpoint Lt Gen Rashad Mehmud as the likely successor, he added.
With the Line of Actual Control (LoC) becoming “alive” with a warlike situation, the Congress led UPA Government can hardly afford to miss the writing on the wall, warned Dr Jitendra Singh.
