Security Forces (SFs) arrested two local militants, identified as Shabir Ahmad and Mohammad Auqib (both residents of Kakapora in Pulwama District) from Jharan Wali Gali (JWG) in Mendhar tehsil of Poonch District on November 14, reports Daily Excelsior. Two assault rifles and ammunition were also recovered from them. Sources said that there had already been inputs with Jammu and Kashmir Police and Army that after the killings of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Anil Parihar and his brother Ajit Parihar in Kishtwar District, the militants of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) were planning to revive militancy in twin border Districts of Rajouri and Poonch besides Doda and Ramban, adds Daily Excelsior. The immediate target of the militants was Panchayat elections, sources said, adding that the militants had planned to disturb the polls by resorting to attacks on the candidates, polling booths and carrying out attacks to spread panic among the people. “Investigations were on to find out the route used by the militants to reach Mendhar from South Kashmir as Mughal road linking Shopian with Rajouri and Poonch was closed for the past more than one week. Things would be clear when the militants are subjected to sustained questioning. Presently focus of the Army was on tracing the other militants active in the area,” sources said. The militants, it may be mentioned, were desperate to disturb Panchayat elections as they have been facing pressure from their mentors across the border due to successful and violence-free conduct of Urban Local Body elections in the entire State. It is believed that the militants had to carry out terror attacks not only to sabotage the Panchayat elections but also to signal revival of militancy in the twin border Districts of Rajouri and Poonch, like Kishtwar, the report said.
