As many as 513 ceasefire violations by Pakistan have taken place along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir in the past one-and-a-half months and the Pakistani side has suffered five to six times more casualties than the Indian Army in retaliatory action, sources said.

The General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C), Northern Command of the Indian Army, Lieutenant General Ranbir Singh on May 20 said that Pakistan was trying to keep the pot of militancy boiling by radicalizing Kashmiri youth through social media to pick up guns, reports Daily Excelsior. He said that 40 youngsters have joined militancy in the Valley this year (2019) so far though the number has declined over the previous years due to outreach programme of the Army with teachers and families of the youth. At the same time, he said, 86 militants have been neutralized this year while 20 others have been apprehended in the Valley till date. Describing situation in Jammu and Kashmir as ‘under control’, the Army Commander, who has regularly been taking visits to forward areas on the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir as well as hinterland, said Pakistan continued to indulge in anti-India activities by trying to infiltrate militants and promote drug trafficking. However, he declared that Army will not allow terror to take roots in Jammu region. Singh also said that Pakistan army has failed in infiltrating militants and, therefore, was trying to radicalize local youth through social media to pick up guns in the Valley.

A Kashmiri youth, identified as Adil Ahmad who allegedly joined the Islamic State (ISIS), was arrested by the United States (US) Allied Forces in Syria and his parents approached State authorities for intervening and bringing him back, officials said in Srinagar on May 29, reports Daily Excelsior. Adil Ahmad is believed to have joined the banned terror group in 2013, officials said. After migrating to ISIS-controlled Syria, ostensibly on the pretext of working for an NGO, he married a Dutch woman who had also joined the terror group. Having completed his MBA from Queensland in Australia, Adil left for Turkey via Jordan on June 21, 2013 on an Indian passport after he allegedly got in touch with some radical groups based in Australia. Adil Ahmad’s family had been claiming that Adil was working in Syria and neighbouring countries, till his father received a message from his Dutch wife that she and their son were in custody of the US-allied forces. The wife, according to the officials, was given access to the International Committee of Red Cross which facilitated contact with her husband’s family. “I have now approached the State authorities seeking help to bring back my son,” said Fayaz Ahmed, father of Adil, adding “I have been informed that a formal process will start only after the new Government assumes office in New Delhi.” He said that the couple lost their five-year-old son while fighting was raging in Syria.
