A Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) overground worker, Fayaz Ahmad Wani, a resident of Pattan in Baramulla District, who allegedly raised and distributed INR 70,000 among Kashmiri stone-pelters, was arrested by the Baramulla Police on February 1, according to Times of India. A letter pad and a HM receipt book were recovered from him. Wani, presently functioning as tehsil (revenue) President of All Party Hurriyat Conference-Geelani (APHC-G) after the arrest of Showket Ahmad, along with District president Hamza Molvi, would collect money from APHC-G Head Quarter at Hyderpora in Srinagar. Recently he had collected and distributed INR 70,000 among various stone-pelters of Palhallan in Pattan and its adjoining areas. Wani told his interrogators that he had been collecting funds on behalf of the banned outfit and distributing it among families of several slain terrorists, overground workers and families of people injured in the summer agitation in 2010. ''He was also instigating people to join militant ranks and avenge the killing of the people during the recent unrest,'' a Police statement said, adding, Wani told his interrogators that he organized processions in his area. ''He had organized a group of youth with the responsibility to organize violent protests at the village level,'' the statement further added. was later booked under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on February 1 emphasised that "political solutions for the problems besetting" the State have to be worked out on a pragmatic basis, Daily Excelsior reported.

Sopore Superintendent of Police (SP) Altaf Khan on February 1 said that the Police have identified the killers of two sisters, Arifa and Akhtar, who were, as reported earlier, killed on January 31 in Sopore in Baramulla District, reports Times of India. Of the three militants two identified as local militants Muzaffar Naiko and Wasim Gania — students of a madrassa (seminary) in Muslim Peer locality in Sopore. Another militant was a suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) cadre. "There are around 13 madrassas in Sopore and the Government is aware of their existence. We'd informed the authorities about their indoctrination but nothing was done about it," said an unnamed Police officer. SP Altaf Khan said these madrassas are breeding grounds for militants, adding, "We have strong inputs that these are run by the Lashkar."

Inspector General (Operations) Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) B N Ramesh said that Israeli-made TAVOR rifle was better than the AK-47 for counter insurgency operations in Jammu and Kashmir and Naxal [Left Wing Extremism]-affected areas of the country. "I think it is better than the AK-47 rifle due to its effectiveness and light weight," Ramesh told reporters. He also said the process of modernisation of the weaponry was an ongoing process in CRPF so that the force is able to effectively carry out the tasks assigned to it, adding, "We have got this weapon and we are getting some more in near future."

The visit to Kishtwar District, which was once known as a hub of militancy with writ of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Harkat-ul-Jehad Islami (HUJI) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) running large, was aimed at giving a signal that terrorism has mostly been wiped out from these five Districts, authoritative sources said.

According to secret diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks, terror training camps, though not directly run by the Pakistan Government, continue to operate along India-Pakistan border creating potential for conflict with India and instability in the region, reports The Hindu. “Terrorist organisations, like al-Qaeda, have begun using these camps as recruitment centres. After additional training...recruitees are then poised to commit terrorist activities,'' senior British Foreign Office official Laura Hickey is reported telling American diplomats. According to a cable dated July 18, 2008, published by The Daily Telegraph, “With the continued presence of militant training camps in Kashmir and over half a million U.K. passport-holders with ties in the region, HMG (Her Majesty's Government) is concerned that U.K. nationals will be recruited to conduct terrorist activities in the U.K.''

Number of the applications received under Rehabilitation Policy for the militants held up in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) has crossed 300 during past two weeks, reports Daily Excelsior. More than 100 applications have been received in the twin border Districts of Rajouri and Poonch alone. A sizeable number of applications have also been received in Baramulla District. Sources said most of the militants, whose parents have come forward for the return of their kin from Pakistan and PoK, had crossed over to other side of the border for the period ranging between a decade to two decades. Parents of the militants have claimed before police that their kin have given consent on telephone that they were ready to return to their homes getting an opportunity. Sources said all the applications received from parents of the kin were being subjected to scrutiny and would reach concerned authorities after proper verifications. Authorities were, however, trying to keep names of the militants, on whose behalf their families have filed applications for return from Pakistan and PoK, as secret to the best possible extent to ensure that their identity didn’t manage to reach Pakistan.

Assuring that the Army would soon complete its probe into the killing of a 21-year-old youth in Handwara in Baramulla District in the night of February 5, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Srinagar-based 15 Corps, Lieutenant General S.A. Hasnain, on February 6 said the Army followed Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) while fighting militancy, reports Daily Excelsior. He said Army's objective was to restore normalcy with the cooperation of the general public. Hasnain told journalists that SOP was followed in Handwara. “Under SOPs, any civilian who ventures out of home at night is required to hold a light in hand of any kind in an order to avoid collateral damage,” he said, adding that troops domination will continue at night to thwart militant movement. “As the Army sometimes receives inputs about the militant's presence in some areas, they are short of time to get consent from the Police. However, we would minimise it and try utmost to seek police presence during operations at every possible spot,” he said.

Army and Police on February 8 shot dead three top Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militants, including a ‘divisional commander’, in an encounter inside a 60 feet deep nullah at village Manjoosh near Nachlana in the Khari area of Banihal tehsil (revenue unit) in Ramban District. Official sources said troops launched a search operation at village Manjoosh after developing a specific input about the presence of three HM militants in the area. The militants when asked to surrender started heavy firing with automatic weapons on the troopers, who retaliated, leading to heavy exchange of gun fighting. All three militants were killed in the encounter with no casualties of Army and Police. Dead bodies of the slain militants, identified as Abdul Rashid Naik alias Qari Zubair, Nasir Ahmed Naik and Mushtaq Ahmed, were recovered from the nullah. While Qari Zubair was a ‘divisional commander’ of HM’s Pir Panjal Regiment, Nasir was a ‘district commander’ and Mushtaq was a ‘battalion commander’ of the outfit. Recoveries made from their possession of the slain militants included two AK-56 rifles, one Under Barrel Grenade Launcher (UBGL), three mobile telephones with earphones, battery chargers, AK magazines and ammunition, explosive devices and other items. Significantly, the hideout of the militants was located just one kilometer away from Manjoosh Police post. The militants had been using a rope to reach to 60 feet deep inside the nullah to hide them. With the killings, now only 27 militants were left in Doda-Ramban range, including 10 in Ramban District (seven of HM Pir Panjal Regiment and three of LeT [Lashkar-e-Toiba] Abu Moosa group), Inspector General of Police (Jammu) Dilbagh Singh said.

Army and Police on February 13 arrested two top Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militants, who happened to be close associates of recently slain HM ‘divisional commander’ Qari Zubair, after an encounter in their house at Bhimdassa in Gool area of Ramban District, reports Daily Excelsior. The arrestees, identified as Tariq Ahmed Chandel and Rafiq Ahmed, were ‘B’ category militants. The Security Forces (SFs) carried out a search operation at village Thachu near Bhimdassa in the night after developing information about the presence of the two militants in the area. Anticipating that they were being chased, the militants took the forest route and reached their houses at Thachu. Their houses were cordoned off but the militants managed to take cover of their family members. It was after about two hour that the SFs arrested the militants after segregating them from their families. However, both the militants did make an attempt to escape by opening fire. They were arrested after a brief exchange of firing. Recoveries made from the possession of slain militants included one AK-56 rifle, one Chinese pistol, four grenades, two pistol magazines, two AK-56 magazines, 39 AK rounds and four pistol rounds. The arrestees were close associates of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) ‘chief’ for Pir Panjal range Abu Moosa also.

The Centre has planned to withdraw nearly 10,000 Central Para Military Forces (CPMFs) from Jammu and Kashmir in 2011 as it feels that the State can do with less central forces, reports Daily Excelsior. "There is scope of reduction of troops is the Home Ministry’s view. There are more than adequate forces in Kashmir and it can do with less central forces," Union Home Secretary G K Pillai told. When asked how many personnel are being pulled out from the State, he said in 2009, the centre pulled out 10 battalions (10,000 men) from the State. In 2010, it did not take out any because of the agitation from June to September. "I think this year, we can easily take out 10 battalions if not more. Irrespective of the situation, I can take out 10 battalions and it would not have any impact. We have about 70 battalions in Kashmir and we have 62 battalions in seven Left-wing affected states which are big States.... I think if I can take out, I will try to pull out as many as I can," he said. On the amendments on Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), whose withdrawal has been demanded by the State, he said this is an issue which has to be decided politically. "But OK, even if it is not done I think you can move forward and say some parts of Kashmir need not be declared disturbed. You keep the act as it is which is what the Army says don’t meddle with the Act but if you want me (Army) to act, I need that Act... You see law and order situation in Srinagar has improved. Anyway, Army is not in Srinagar. They are not operating in Budgam. You say remove it from there.... That area is no longer disturbed. This is a notification of the State Government not a State notification by Central Government," the Home Secretary said. He said the proposals for amendments in the AFSPA were before the Cabinet Committee on Security. Meanwhile, the Home Secretary allayed fears that violence may return in the Kashmir Valley, saying several major steps have been taken post-September 2010. "All-party meeting, interlocutors, two reports of the Task Force of Jammu and Kashmir, Jammu and Ladakh reports have come. We got this employment committee report of Dr Ranjarajan that is expected this month. I think a lot of things are slowly changing. It is not fast enough as we would like," he said.

I would like to tell you that those people opposing it, do it for their personal interest. It is only 3.7 per cent things, which have been taken into consideration. And the whole investigation is done and many times it is done to give a bad name to the Army. And it’s the speciality of our Army that we don’t do anything wrong," General Singh asserted.

Responding to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's February 16 statement about the situation in Kashmir being under control, All Party Hurriyat Conference-Geelani (APHC-G) leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani said the present lull in violence in the Valley was temporary. "Indian troops and police killed around 150 youth and arrested thousands in 2010 and ensured the peace of the graveyard here but it does not mean everything is okay," Geelani said in a statement. He said the world and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should not be "happy" about this temporary phase of lull in Kashmir. Reacting to the Prime Minister's statement that the recent demonstrations in Egypt against autocracy cannot be replicated in democratic India, Geelani claimed that in Jammu and Kashmir, an "Egypt like situation" had been in place in 2008, 2009 and 2010. "People, by coming on the roads, have done a referendum that they are not satisfied with India," he said, adding, "The people of Kashmir will bring such a revolution that the revolutions of Egypt and other countries will look pale."

The National Investigating Agency (NIA) on February 16 filed the final charge sheet in a special court in Kochi against 24 accused, including a Pakistan national, in the "Kashmir terror recruitment” case, relating to enrolment of several youths from Kerala for anti-national activities, reports Daily Excelsior. The case against the accused, including Pakistani national Wali Abdul Rahiman, was that they had conspired with the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and recruited several youths from Kerala to carry out anti-national activities in Jammu and Kashmir. The youths, recruited in 2006, were given armed training in terrorist modules to wage war against India, the charge sheet said. Wali, the main link between the LeT and the Keralites, has been absconding while four youths recruited from northern districts of Kerala, died in encounters with security forces in 2008. So far 10 persons had been arrested in the case while the absconding included the first accused Abdul Jaleel from Kerala. The accused included four youths killed in encounters with the Security Force personnel in October 2008 and T. Nazir, who is now in jail in connection with the Bangalore bomb blasts case.

Defence Minister A K Antony on February 17 dismissed demands for the withdrawal of Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from Jammu and Kashmir, saying infiltration attempts were still continuing and terrorists could not be given any "opportunity to succeed" there, Daily Excelsior reported. "Militancy has come down substantially but at the same time our feedback is not giving us comfort. Attempts for infiltration are still continuing... We cannot take any step that will give an opportunity for militants to succeed there," he told reporters. The Minister was asked if the controversial Act could be repealed, or withdrawn from the Kashmir valley. Stressing on the need for armed forces to be careful, Antony said, "Inimical forces across the border, 24x7 they are trying to send people to Jammu and Kashmir." Observing that the situation in the State was fast improving "because of various reasons", he said the Security Forces cannot relax and have to be vigilant. Antony also acknowledged that separatists in Jammu and Kashmir and North-East are "misusing" social networking sites and said "proper corrective action" will be taken. Responding to queries on "misuse" of social networking sites like Facebook by the separatists, the Minister said, "We know people are misusing these but at the same time we are not going to take any hasty decision." He refused to comment on limiting the access of social networking sites in the States where the services are being misused. "We will see, nothing has been decided now," he said. Antony said "proper corrective action" will be taken after ascertaining the whole issue. Of late, the separatist forces in Jammu and Kashmir and North-East were found actively using social networking sites to spread their propaganda. With their membership increasing with each day, they also initiate online discussions and post their comments on issues like stone-pelting and others.

Sources said police have definite reports of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) supreme ‘commander’ Syed Salah-ud-Din again trying to instigate the stone pelters to gear up for the upcoming summer. It was in view of the intercepts and other reliable inputs that Police have started making preventive arrests of professional and notorious stone pelters. A number of stone pelters arrested by Police have confessed during their interrogation that they had been instigated by militant groups to subject police and para-military to stone pelting. The statements of stone pelters were enough to establish a nexus between militants and the protestors, sources added. They added that some militants, who had instigated stone pelters, were directly in contact with Syed Salah-ud-Din while some others had operated at the behest of HM militants in the Kashmir valley. Sources said the names of some separatist leaders have also figured during questioning of the stone pelters that they too had driven them to the path of violence. Several separatists were already under surveillance for their links with the stone pelters, they added.

Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on February 19 said the withdrawal of Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) can be decided by consultation between the Union Government and the State Government, claiming, however, that the Chief Minister was empowered to revoke the law, reports Daily Excelsior. "The Army is the tool of the Union Government and its advise is really required to be taken into consideration before amending or abrogating AFSPA. However, my Government and the Central Government are on the same page so far as the removal of the AFSPA is concerned,'' Omar told reporters. "My Government had proposed the withdrawal of the law from certain areas like Srinagar and Budgam in Kashmir and from two Districts in Jammu division in consultation with the security advisors from the Army but Union Government was working on the suggestion. But nobody has veto on the issue whether to remove the law or it to remain,'' he added. Asked why he wasn't moving to revoke the law himself if had the powers to do so, Omar said the Central Government's opinion was necessary as Army works under its command. He was reacting to observations of Union Defence Minister A. K. Antony on not revoking AFSPA from J&K.

Noting that Jammu and Kashmir had gone through a "difficult time" in 2010, Prime Minister (PM) Manmohan Singh on February 24 said the Government was keeping its "fingers crossed" this summer while remaining vigilant as he asserted that no quarter should be given to secessionists, reports Daily Excelsior. "We have passed through a difficult time, particularly the last summer. Since then the situation has improved. But we keep our fingers crossed. Come this summer, I hope we will be vigilant enough to ensure that the unfortunate events that took place in the last summer in parts of Jammu and Kashmir do not take place," the Prime Minister said in Parliament. "Our approach to the problems of Jammu and Kashmir is that we will give no quarter to secessionist elements. We will do everything in our power to strengthen the hands of the State Government to provide a fairer deal to the youth of Jammu and Kashmir, to provide avenues for gainful employment," the PM added. He also said that the report of the Rangarajan committee appointed by him to work out a plan for providing up to one-lakh jobs to Kashmiri youth was "nearly ready" and once its implementation starts the "mindset" of Kashmiri people will change. Asserting that the dialogue process set to be resumed, he asked Pakistan to grasp its hand of friendship and made it clear that all issues can be resolved if it stopped use of its territory for anti-India activities. "I sincerely hope and believe that the new ruling classes of Pakistan would grasp the hands of our friendship and recognise that whatever are our differences, terror as an instrument of State policy, is something that no civilised society ought to use," he said.

The two arrested Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militants, both named Showkat Hussain, have revealed that a large number of youth, who had crossed over to Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) from this part of the State during past two decades, were now forced to work as labourers or perform other type of manual job after being thrown out of training camps by Pakistan Army and militant ‘commanders’ due to their over-age, lack of proper training and refusal to become fidayeens (suicide bombers). They told Police that only those militants, who had become hardcore ‘commanders’ or those who were ready to become the fidayeens were being kept in the training camps and other rest houses. They were also being paid monthly honorarium, which has been stopped for all rest of the militants. As reported earlier, these militants were arrested on February 25 soon after they crossed the Line of Control (LoC) from forward area of Nakarket in Digwar sub sector of Poonch District. Senior Superintendent of Police (Poonch) Ashkoor Wani said the militants would be booked under illegal border crossing as they were not involved in any kind of militant activity in India. They also didn't fall under Rehabilitation Policy of the Government, he added.
