The Anti-India (Kashmir) Propaganda in UK Parliament
Security experts believe that the ongoing border violence is mostly linked to Islamabad’s goals to push disruptive elements and terrorists across the border, before snow blocks the mountain passes. Trained militants belonging to the Lashkar-e-Taiba, HizbulMujahideen,?Harkatul Mujahideen, Jeish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and others are given protection and logistical support by the Pakistani Army until they are sent across the Line of Control (LoC) in batches of five to ten. The Pakistani Army also maintains many terrorist camps across the border in Pakistan and has launching pads available near the LoC, that keeps small groups of militants waiting for infiltration into Indian controlled Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan-assisted infiltration across the LoC tends to succeed in effecting penetration into India. The terrorists, trained in guerrilla warfare, manage to hide in the dense vegetation and when detected and engaged, they often manage to escape into the hinterland after hours and days of exchange of gunfire with the security forces.

The debate arguments although linked to the Kashmir human rights issues took on a strong Anti-India shape with parliamentarians questioning the very fabric of democracy in the largest democracy of the world! The response from the government brought some solace when The Rt Hon Alok Sharma made it clear to all parliamentarians that this is a matter purely between India and Pakistan and that UK does not interfere in their internal matters unless asked by them.
As for the information of David Nutall and his colleagues, Pakistan’s support has been instrumental in spreading terrorism in Jammu & Kashmir, but also in Punjab and North-eastern Indian states through military, logistical and financial means. In Jammu & Kashmir, however, Pakistan goes further as it openly pledges moral and political support to the Kashmiri jihadists, calling it a Kashmiri freedom struggle.
The people fighting against the Indian Army are Jehadis and Mercenaries trained in Pakistan with a view to destabilise the region. The recent demonetisation drive has put a sudden halt in the stone pelting activity, thereby proving that they were all paid to attack the Indian Armed forces and government buildings. The only human rights that have been brutally violated are those of the minority Hindu community in the region. Ever since 1988-89, there have been active training camps in Pakistan where young Muslim youth from Kashmir were taken to train them in arms handling and brainwashed into fighting for Jehad. Today, 8 year and 9 year old boys act as Mohalla Commanders of those who indulge in stone pelting on Indian officials and establishments. These are young child soldiers and terrorists that have been created by Pakistan sponsored training and support, the UN has remained silent on this aspect of human rights violation that has taken away not just the peace and harmony of the region but has, more importantly, taken away the childhood of these people.
