Union Home Minister Amit Shah on October 5 ruled out holding any dialogue with Pakistan and asserted that Modi Government will wipe out terrorism from Jammu and Kashmir and make it the most peaceful place in the country, reports Daily Excelsior. Addressing a rally which was attended by thousands of people in Baramulla, Shah asked whether terrorism has ever benefited anyone as the menace has claimed 42,000 lives since the 1990s in Jammu and Kashmir. The HM Amit Shah said that there won’t be any talks with Pakistan but only with the youth of J&K. “Some people talk about Pakistan here. I want to tell them today, bring the status about the number of villages in PoK that have been electrified. Electricity has reached every village in our Kashmir. Mufti and company, and Abdullah and sons ruled Kashmir for 70 years, but did not provide one lakh houses, but PM Modi, from 2014 till 2022, has given houses to one lakh people in J&K,” Shah added. Taking a jibe at the National Conference and PDP presidents on their demands to talk to Pakistan, the Home Minister said that he does not want to talk to the neighbouring country, and intends to talk to the youth of Jammu and Kashmir instead.

The Police and Security Forces (SFs) have busted at least eight modules of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) supplying medicines, explosives and logistics to Maoists in Bastar region during the last two years, reports Devdiscourse on October 23. These modules were active in Districts of Sukma, Bijapur, Kanker, Dantewada and Bastar. Inspector General of Police (IGP), Bastar Range, Sundarraj P said, "Legal action has been taken against people involved in forwarding logistics, uniform, shoes and explosive materials to Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] cadres. In the last couple of years, we have opened up more than 43 security camps. These camps have proved to be effectively blocking the supply network. The forthcoming operations will be in cooperation with Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra and Orissa. We will be taking necessary actions against the supply modules of CPI (Maoists)," Sundarraj said. CPI Maoist tried to exploit the grey areas along interstate borders for their activities as well as to strengthen their supply network. The Police and SFs across the interstate borders, however, operated seamlessly and jointly cracked down many Maoists supply teams. Choking the supply chain has been the top priority for Police, as it would deplete the fighting strength of the guerrillas. They have broken a lot of ground in this direction and hopefully would do even much better in the forthcoming operational season, the official added.

As terrorist carried out a number of targeted killings recently, 10 Kashmiri Pandit families have left their village in Shopian District of J&K out of fear and reached Jammu city, Kashmir Observer reported on October 25. The residents of Choudharygund said the recent militant attacks have triggered a fear psychosis among the Pandits who lived in Kashmir through the most difficult period of terrorism in 1990s and did not leave their homes. One Kashmiri Pandit Puran Krishan Bhat was gunned down by terrorists outside his ancestral house in Choudharygund village of Shopian District on October 15. On October 18, two Hindu migrant labourers from Uttar Pradesh, Monish Kumar and Ram Sagar, were killed in a grenade attack by terrorist while they were asleep in their rented accommodation in Shopian. “Ten families comprising 35 to 40 Kashmiri Pandits have migrated out of our village due to the fear psychosis,” a resident of Choudharygund village who faced a death threat recently said. He said the village was now empty. “The situation is not conducive for us to live in Kashmir Valley. We live in fear due to killings. There is no security for us,” another villager said. The villagers alleged a Police post was set up away from their village even though they repeatedly sought protection. They said they have left everything in their houses, even the recent harvest of apple. Those who have reached Jammu city are living with their relatives.

The Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on October 27 said that India is committed to retrieve Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) from Pakistan and accused the neighbouring country of “resorting to torture and harassment” in the region, reports Daily Excelsior. Addressing the Infantry Day function in Srinagar, Singh said that India is committed to implement the 1994 resolution passed in the Parliament about retrieving the part of Kashmir “under illegal occupation of Pakistan.” “Pakistan Government is sowing the seeds of hatred in PoK and time is not far when people will resort to mass rebellion there,” he said. He said that India is committed to implement the resolution passed in the Parliament about retrieving Kashmir under illegal occupation of Pakistan including Gilgit and Baltistan. “People of PoK are being deprived of all basic rights and we are fully aware of it,” he added.

Major terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) declined after Pakistan was included in the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) grey list, a senior Indian government official Joint Secretary Safi Rizvi said on October 28, reports Daily Excelsior. The United Nations Security Council’s Counter-Terrorism Committee should examine this correlation, said Daily Excelsior Safi Rizvi. Making a presentation at a special meeting of the UNSC panel, which India is hosting, Rizvi, however, did not name Pakistan at any point. But he noted that after the chances of Pakistan getting delisted from the grey list increased, terrorist activities too increased. Jammu and Kashmir recorded five attacks on `hard targets’ — well-defended places like government offices, military and police camps — in 2014, eight attacks in 2015 and 15 in 2016. The number fell to eight in 2017 and declined further to three in 2018, Rizvi said. In 2019, there was a “very big aberration” in the form of the Pulwama attack while in 2020, no hard target was attacked, the official said. In 2021, the attacks on hard targets started increasing and the trend continues in 2022, he said. “Why did this decline happen from 2018 to 2021? One (reason) was the grey listing,” he added.

On October 30, Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh said infiltration along the Line of Control (LoC) is down and the Security Forces (SFs) have killed several ‘commanders’ including 40 foreign militants in 2022 leading to leadership crisis of militant outfits. The DGP said that compared to previous years, this year infiltration has shown a fall while a few successful attempts were reported. “This year, our special focus was to eliminate foreign militants of various outfits operating in the Valley. They were instrumental in provoking and luring youth into militancy,” he said, adding, that a few foreign militants are still at large and they will be eliminated soon. He said that with the killing of foreign militants, the local militant recruitment has dropped significantly. He, however, conceded that readymade improvised explosive devices (IEDs) is a new strategy of the militants aimed at inflicting maximum damage to SFs and less to militants. “This is a new strategy by militants. Such consignments were seized in Jammu that were airdropped through drones,” he said. “Stone pelting has come to an end in the past three years and local militant recruitment too has dropped to almost zero,” he said. On target killings he said, “A major aim of such acts is to provoke people across India to target Kashmiris working in many Indian states. I am grateful to Indian citizens for behaving maturely and not falling into the trap laid by the agencies supporting militancy,” he said.

On October 31, Chinar Corps Commander Lt. Gen. A. D. S. Aujla, describing the situation at the Line of Control (LoC) as very much under control said the overall defence preparedness of the Indian Army has received a “huge impetus” in the 20 months since the ceasefire understanding between India and Pakistan in February 2021, reports Daily Excelsior. “A lot of parameters are showing signs of normalcy. And, challenge for us is to ensure that we are able to sustain this ceasefire and phase of normalcy that we are seeing on a daily basis,” Lt Gen Aujla said. Asked if the ceasefire understanding of 2021 has had any impact on operational preparedness of the Army, the Corps Commander said there have been “many positives” related to it as the period gave time to “upgrade our defences”. “Not only has it enhanced our capabilities and capacity but many a thing, which otherwise, we would not be able to do by virtue of those fire engagements that used to take place on a regular basis along the LoC. Now we have been able to do,” he said. However, whenever the opportunity comes, “attempts are being made to infiltrate” from the “other side” but the Army is capable to foil such bids or give a befitting reply, said the officer. India and Pakistan had on February 25, 2021, released a joint statement announcing a ceasefire along the LoC following talks between their Director Generals of Military Operations. The two countries had earlier signed a ceasefire agreement in 2003 but it was repeatedly violated. In 2022, infiltration cases have been minimum, eight terrorists possibly infiltrated, three of them were eliminated. So it is the lowest in the last 32 years since the insurgency in the Valley, he said.
