“Another police officer said there has been a surge in encounters because security forces have gone on the offensive by launching counter militancy operations.”
That’s why so many in the West actually take seriously the notion that if we don’t fight back against the poor dears, they will calm down and all will be well.
“Six soldiers including a Major among 16 killed in 3 days in surge of encounters in Jammu and Kashmir,” by Fayaz Wani, The New Indian Express, February 15, 2017:
SRI NAGAR:The five months of violent unrest following the killing of Hizbul commander Burhan Wani in Jammu and Kashmir last year may not seem to be a distant memory if incidents of the last three days are anything to go by. For, there is an apparent increase in encounter incidents in the State in which at least eight militants, six soldiers, including a Major, and two civilians have been killed in the space of three days. About a dozen security personnel, including a CRPF commandant and a Major, have been injured.
DIG North Kashmir Nitish Kumar said the surge in encounters cannot be linked to rise in militancy.
“We are seeking contact with the militants. It is not that the militants are attacking the security personnel,” he said.Another police officer said there has been a surge in encounters because security forces have gone on the offensive by launching counter militancy operations.
“During the more than five-month long agitation in the Valley last year, the focus of the security forces was to maintain law and order and not counter militancy operations. Now the focus has again shifted to counter militancy operations,” he said, adding that the security agencies have again made operational intelligence grid, which was rendered non-functional during the unrest.
“Now that counter militancy operations have resumed, the security forces are tracking militants and encounters are taking place,” he said.
The police officer termed the killing of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant Abu Darda and his two associates as a major jolt to the terror outfit.
“The militants were involved in a number of incidents, including an attack on an Army convoy, patrol party and BSF convoy in North Kashmir,” he said.
All the attacks, the police said, were planned by Lashkar terrorist Abu Darda, who was killed in one of the encounters. He was active in the Kupwara belt from 2008–2010. “He had returned to Pakistan in 2010 and infiltrated back in 2015. After his second infiltration, he established a base in Handwara. He was the main coordinator of Lashkar and was responsible for the safe movement of newly arriving militants to other parts of the Valley, especially Central and South Kashmir,” said the police officer….

sounds like the islam we all know: have the sub-continent split into a Hindu and Muslim part, then make jihad on the Hindu part so that islam rules the whole of India.
I have yet to meet an Indian (Hindu) who does not strongly dislike Ghandi for starting the process of islamising India
Jihadi John says
The Hindu part of former India remained secular and democratic with 14% Muslim population living peacefully.
The Muslim part of former India – Pakistan – became Islamic, nurtured the Taliban, gave shelter to OBL and harbors anti-western terrorists like Sayeed Hafiz.

Let us notbe fooled by Bharati (Indian) propaganda, but be ready to face the truth squarely. During the partition of the British Empire of India in August 1947, Lord Louis Mountainbatten Governor-General of the Indian Union, decided to seize the Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir by stealth using his position to pretend that there would be a plebiscite under the U.N. and free elections, when he had no intention of .holding any free elections and on October 27, 1947, he sent in Indian troops and invaded the State of Jammu and Kahmir Kashmir hoping to seize the territory. Do not mix apples with oranges as the Indian Government Propaganda Dept is attempting to do. Since Kashmir was mainly Muslim, it population wanted it to be a Muslim State, just as India is a Hindu State. For any peace to be had Kashmir, there will have to be FREE ELECTIONS under U.N. auspices and not under the bayonettes of Indian Occupation Forces in that country. This is the simple truth of what is really happening in that land today. I know the whole issue and do not be fooled by HINDU agents provocateurs pretending to be friends of democracy..

so what you are saying is, Muslims should have been given more of India because they can never accept to live with Hindus, can never accept being ruled by a majority of kaffirs?
So the logic then is the islamic logic of: wherever islam placed its hat, are islamic lands. That makes the whole world islamic land.
And the UN is composed of a majority of undemocratic members; the biggest voting are the islamic countries.
I don’t want to insult you, but this sounds like islamic propaganda to me.

Seconded.
I pray that India will one day wholly liberate Kashmir from Islam, just as I pray that Israel will assert full sovereignty over Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem.
mortimer says
‘Jihad’ is one of Islam’s three ‘essential’ doctrines … it is ‘essential for salvation’. Muslims who do not commit jihad or do not even WISH to commit jihad will go to hell according to authentic Islamic teaching.
All Muslims must be jihadists. They may commit 1) jihad of the sword 2) jihad of speech 3) jihad of the pen 4) jihad of financing jihad.
Most Muslims commit the jihad of speech and lie to kafirs about the supremacist purpose of jihad.

I have heard of Shivaji. A true hero, resisting Islam, pushing back against Jihad.
As Charles Martel and Jean Parisot de Valetta and Jan Sobieski in the WEst… so Shivaji in the East. Heroes all.

Well, isn’t that what they’re supposed to do?
