Central intelligence agencies have told Interior Minister Amit Shah that Pakistan was behind the killings in Kashmir.
Eight people, including Hindus, were shot dead by militants in Kashmir in a single week. Following this, Union Home Minister Amit Shah yesterday (Friday) held urgent consultations with Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Governor Manoj Sinha and senior officials of the security forces on improving security there and eradicating terrorism.
Commenting at the consultative meeting, the Central Intelligence Agency said, “Violence has increased in Kashmir in recent times, but this is not a separatist struggle. Some organizations are doing this with Pakistani instigation.” The intelligence agencies have pointed out that Pakistan is behind the Kashmir massacre as militant infiltration attempts on the border are on the rise. They also told Amit Shah that there were no Taliban in Kashmir.
At the same time it was decided not to expel Kashmiri Pandits from Kashmir except to relocate them to safer places. How the federal government is responsible for the genocide. A senior official said the government wants to create a cohesive community of different cultures.
Aside from consultations, Kashmiri pundits have been demanding that “the government has taken us hostage. They are not allowing us to leave our homes. We are in fear. We should be allowed to go to Jammu because of the lack of security in Kashmir.”
