Jammu and Kashmir Police deserves all due acclaim for having very successfully foiled a terrorist conspiracy to disrupt and rattle Independence Day celebrations at New Delhi and at Jammu. This all could be possible on account of the desired high level of security and effective vigil in and around Jammu by the Police due to which highly indoctrinated militants Irfan Hussain Wani and Mohammad Sheikh from Awantipora Kashmir were apprehended on August 5 from Gandhi Nagar Jammu area.
The details about the catch were shared with reporters by Inspector General of Police, Jammu S. D. S. Jamwal who said that a police squad noticed him moving under suspicious circumstances at Chatri Point. Investigations have revealed Irfan’s close contacts with Zakir Musa who leads Ansar Ghuzwat -u-Hind. The apprehended young terrorist, a BA drop out, had been fully radicalized and was active for the last one year. It may be recalled that on May 24 there was a grenade attack at Jammu Bus stand injuring three. However, the accused Mohammad Sheikh has also been arrested.
The name of the outfit is itself suggesting its aim and objective being fully linked with an ideology of an extreme radical and utopian but horribly violent in nature. That Pakistan and its terrorist agencies under the supervision of the ISI have been diabolically experimenting to use the soil of Kashmir as a launching pad for terrorist violent activities across India, need to be taken seriously besides Indian nation, by the international community. Had there been any security lapse and the terrorist not caught, the consequences could have been definitely hazardous.
It would amount to wafer thin edge conjectures to think on positive lines that perhaps with the change of guard expected in Pakistan there could be a paradigm shift in its conventional state policy of hate and harm India and those peaceniks within the country and the political leadership in the valley clamouring for “talks with Pakistan” and working for peace between the two countries must review their stance seriously.
If the sheer fiendish aim is justified by whatever “logic” by these rabidly radicalized terror outfits in killing innocents and spilling blood on streets, it is equally enjoined duty of the Government to ruthlessly eliminate and kill such prowlers of humanity and shedding deceptive tears by some Human Rights champions must be rubbished and treated contemptuously. How long our patience shall be tested as more than three decades is a long period of endurance.
Delhi Police too has to interrogate the apprehended terrorist to know about the Delhi contact where the consignment had finally to reach and to know in details about the diabolical plans associated with this catch. It should be ensured that there was no let up in the vigil and robust security structure and arrangements for the same must be more intensified during vulnerable night hours.
