On March 17 reported that seven militants groups have issued fresh life threatening warning to the valley based journalists and local newspaper owners for what they called “interest-based biased reporting" and ignoring sufferings of people of Kashmir. According to local news agency KNS, the members of Tehreek-e-Shariat Islami, Save Kashmir Movement, Al Nasreen, Al-Arfeen, Al-mansoorian Jehad-ul-Islam, Askari and Al-Jabar held meeting under the ‘chairmanship’ of Abdullah Ghaznavi of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and said: "Journalists have been warned to remain away from security agencies and police officers. Journalists should stop strengthening the occupation and instead highlight the pain and suffering of kashmiris due to oppressive state sponsored policies." Quoting the statement of the militant outfits, KNS said: "Accusing some media men are working on the pay-rolls of state and Indian government machinery. The militant outfits warned of strict action for anti-freedom movement journalism." The agency further said that the militants further warned the local dailies for putting out images and headlines of few Indian -sponsored personalities on their front pages for their own vested interests. "If journalists continued to work for Indian security agencies, there will be life threatening consequences. They would be responsible for their deeds," the agency quoted militants' statement. "We are not living as far as seven seas. We would fight to protect the sacrifices made by our hundreds of fighters. Nobody should misconstrue our farsightedness as our weakness," the statement said.

Terrorist outfit Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) has reportedly put up a poster in the Kishtwar District of Jammu and Kashmir urging the surrendered terrorists to join back to fight for the Kashmir cause, as reported by IBNLive on May 19. It also issued threats to its over ground workers (OGWS) to "return the money of the outfit which they have gobbled". The poster on the letter of HM ‘divisional commander’ Mohammad Amin Butt Jahingir Saroori has warned people against helping the Indian agencies in their cause. According to Times Now, Saroori is believed to be behind the September 7, 2011 Delhi High Court blast.

local newspapers carried notices of at least seven panchayat members, including women, from Rajpora in Pulwama District announcing their resignations on June 8. "We inform everybody that we have nothing to do with panchayats and are not affiliated with any political party," one of the notices said. Earlier, on June 5, Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM) had asked panchayat members in the area to resign triggering mass resignations of panchs (member of panchayats) and sarpanchs (head of panchayats) in south Kashmir, where Kulgam is located. Reports said the JeM’s purported threat along with a similar warning from the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) earlier is the reason why around 20 panchs and sarpanchs have quit. A number have been shot at, mostly in their legs. Meanwhile, officials have denied such resignations. "None of the panchayat members have submitted their resignations officially," an unnamed official said. Another unnamed Police officer said, “(We are verifying) whether the posters were actually issued by militant organisations or someone else to keep them away from day-to-day work." India Today adds that locals say that posters of JeM were seen in villages of Pulwama and Shopian Districts this week, warning elected rural body members to resign within a week's time or face consequences. The posters were reportedly pasted on electricity poles, walls of mosques and shops in public places. Pulwama Superintendent of Police, Amit Kumar, admitted that three to four posters were seen in a few areas. "At some places posters were of LeT, at others they were of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen [HM] and Jaish. We are investigating the case. They might be posters of militants and there is possibility it could be foul play as well," the officer said. On June 8, more than a dozen such resignations and non-affiliations of rural body members, including women members, appeared in the local newspapers in the shape of advertisements, the report further added. "I am resigning from the post of elected rural body membership. Now onwards I have nothing to do with this post and am not affiliated with any political party. The information is for general public," reads one such resignation from Abdul Rashid Dobi, panch of ward number 6 from Darbgoom in Pulwama. It was published as paid advertisement in a Srinagar based Urdu daily. A woman panch, Ameena Bano from ward number 8 of Village Sahpora in Pulwama, also resigned from the post. She also announced her resignation in the form of paid advertisement in a newspaper. Her resignation advertisement read, "Without coming under any influence from any political or apolitical body, I am resigning from the post of panch. In future, I have nothing to do with this post and I will have no connection with any political or apolitical body."

terrorists have issued fresh threats to journalists and media houses in Kashmir warning them against projecting "the struggle of Kashmiris in a negative way", The Times of India reported on August 7. A local news agency reported that newspaper offices in Srinagar received a hand-written letter on August 1 that accused "some media men" of "working on the payrolls of the state and Indian government machinery" and warned "of strict action for anti-freedom movement journalism". One Abu Irfan has issued the letter. "We warn journalists to mend their ways or face dire consequences," it said. The letter warned editors against ignoring the warning and asked them to publish it in their newspapers. Earlier, KNS reported that members of eight little-known terrorist groups met under the ‘chairmanship’ of Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT’s) Abdullah Ghaznavi and warned journalists "to remain away from security agencies and police officers". Journalists were warned against "strengthening the occupation and instead highlight the pain and suffering of Kashmiris due to oppressive state-sponsored policies" at the meeting, it reported. In March 2012, seven militants groups had warned Kashmir-based journalists and owners of local newspapers against "interest-based biased reporting". But the groups had withdrawn the threat after separatist leaders like All Party Hurriyat Conference-Geelani (APHC-G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani protested.

Meanwhile, hitherto unknown militant outfits, Lashkar al Qaeda and al Qaeda Mujahedeen have asked women in Kashmir to observe purdah and not to use mobile phones in public, Zee News reported on August 12. "People should ensure that girls observe purdah in public places. If we spot any woman without purdah we will sprinkle acid on her face," handwritten posters of the outfits warned. The posters, appearing at many mosques in Shopian District a few days ago, threatened, "If we spot any girl using mobile phone, she will be shot dead." Warning sarpanches (head of panchayat, village level local self Government institution) and panches (members of panchayat) in South Kashmir to relinquish their posts or face dire consequences, the posters asked them to announce their resignation during Friday prayers. Official sources said many grassroot-level representatives have announced their resignation during the Friday prayers but have not put in their papers before the authorities concerned. The Times of India adds that the poster of al Qaida Mujahedeen has criticized the panchayati raj institution as "un-Islamic" and has set an ultimatum for all sarpanches and panchayat members to resign within a week. The hand written pamphlets, bearing the outfit's stamp, appeared in Shopian's villages of Tehlipora, Krenz, Turkiwangam, Mool Chitragam. The panchayat members have also been asked to issue public apology in mosques during coming Friday's prayers for associating with panchayati raj. The outfit has also directed the sarpanches to retain clippings of newspaper advertisements that make their resignations public, and these have also to be produced on demand by militants.

following threat to Policemen by lesser known militant outfit, Islamic Movement of Kashmir (IMK), Director General of Police, Ashok Prasad, on August 13 asked Police and protected persons to follow the security drill properly. He, however, said that no advisory has been issued to the Police or protected persons barring them from going to Masjids or market places. The IMK in its statement issued to a local news agency announced "Operation Revenge" against the Police personnel and what it said "anti-movement elements." The spokesman of the outfit, Omar Mukhtar, told the news agency that the operation will be launched against the Policemen and officers on a large scale in a couple of days. He, however, asked the Policemen who have not been "anti-movement" to go to Masjids and other places without any fear. The IMK in its statement also claimed responsibility for the killing of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP, retired) Abdul Hamid Bhat, recent killing of Policemen in Kulgam District and at Daresh Kadal and Batmallo in Srinagar District and that of Inspector Bashir Gull at Tengpora in Srinagar in 2001. The IMK came to limelight in 2011 when it claimed assassination bid on the life of Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ali Mohammad Sagar that took place in December 2011. Since then, it claimed several attacks that were carried out in Srinagar, mostly against Policemen. Inspector General of Police, Kashmir, S M Sahai, said that IMK, is a shadow outfit of already existing militant organizations.

Police have arrested two youths who were allegedly involved in issuing threats to Panchayat (village level local self Government institution) members by posting pamphlets in several villages of Shopian District in August. Police sources said the arrested youths — Aqib Rashid Paul, 20, and Adil Rashid Koka, 21, both residents Shopian District — were over ground workers of a little known militant outfit Lashkar-e-al Qaida on whose behest they were pasting the posters during wee hours. “Police had been following their movements for some time and finally managed to nab them on Friday [August 31],” they said. The pamphlets, warning the sarpanchs (head of Panchayats) and the panchs (members of Panchayats) of dire consequences in case they did not tender their resignations within a week had appeared in several villages of Shopian District in August. The handwritten posters, bearing a stamp of the little known al-Qaeda Mujahedeen, militant outfit had ordered the panchayat members to resign within a week and apologize publicly in mosques, during the Friday congregational prayers or else face dire consequences. The posters had also issued a diktat to women asking them to strictly adhere to the purdah (veil) and not to use mobile phones in public.

At least 40 Sarpanchs (head of Panchayat, village level local self Government institution) and Panchs (member of Panchayat) have resigned in Palhalan and its adjoining areas in Pattan tehsil (revenue unit) of Baramulla District in North Kashmir due to militants threats since the killing of a Sarpanch in the region, Daily Excelsior reported on September 13. The resignations have come from Palhalan, Goshbugh, Taapar, Wusan and Kalsari Nehalpora villages. Most of Panchs and Sarpanchs submitted their resignation to the Block Development Officers of the respective blocks. Some of them issued advertisements in local newspaper announcing their resignation. Others have announced their resignation through posters and by making announcements through the loud speakers of the Masjids. The killing of Palhalan Sarpanch took place after Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) posters had appeared in several areas of Pattan asking Panchs and Sarpanchs to resign or face consequences. These posters appeared outside Masjids. As reported earlier, militants in the evening of September 10 shot dead Sarpanch of Palhalan village in Baramulla District. In South Kashmir Districts of Shopian, Pulwama and Kulgam around 200 Panchs and Sarpanchs resigned over the past few months following militants’ threats. In August posters of lesser known militant outfit, al Qaida Mujahideen appeared in several villages in Shopian District forcing around 50 Panchs and Sarpanchs to resign. These posters appeared in the market places and around Masjids in the villages of Pahlipora, Prang, Thearan, Baba Khadar, Trekawangam and Chetergam of District Shopian.

Pakistan based United Jihad Council (UJC - an alliance of Pakistan-based terrorist groups) ‘chairman’ and ‘supreme commander’ of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) Syed Salahuddin issued fresh threat to the elected panches (member of village level local self government institution called Panchayat) and sarpanches (head of Panchayat) asking them to either resign or face dire consequences, reports Indian Express on November 3. Salahuddin in an interview with a New Delhi based newspaper had on Friday said that panches and sarpanches in the state will continue to be targeted irrespective of the level of their security by government as Government of India was exploiting them to project Kashmir as “pro India’’. Shafiq Mir, chairman of All Jammu Kashmir Panchayat Conference – an umbrella organization representing nearly 33,000 panches and sarpanches, in reply to the threat said, “If he wants to execute nearly 33,000 panches and sarpanches who are unarmed and living without any security cover across the state, such an action will be nothing but cowardice.” He further said, "However, on our part, we will not resign under militants threat and we will continue to fight against state government for empowerment of Panchayats in Jammu and Kashmir.”

All Party Hurriyat Conference – Geelani (APHC-G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik on November 22, warned that the possible execution of Mohammed Afzal aka Afzal Guru could have serious repercussions, reports Kashmir Times. Afzal Guru is a convict in the December 13, 2001 Parliament attack case and has been sentenced to death by the court. His mercy petition is pending before the President of India. Geelani said that Guru was denied fair trail and was falsely implicated in the case. Yasin Malik was quoted saying, “In 2008 Kashmiris transformed from violence to non-violence and showed the whole world that they were a peaceful nation. If any wrong decision to hang Afzal Guru is taken, it will cast a serious dent in this process of positive transformation and a new era of violence may start which will endanger and jeopardise peace, stability and prosperity of not only Kashmir, but the whole sub continent,” Earlier the two main national parties, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Indian National Congress (INC), had demanded for Guru’s early execution.
