In what may well be a significant achievement for security and intelligence agencies, terror outfit Islamic State (IS) has not been made to make any significant inroads into the Kashmir Valley, said Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Hansraj Ahir on February 6, reports The Asian Age. Hansraj Ahir informed the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) on February 6 that last year, one incident related to ISIS was reported from the Valley where slogans were shouted in support of the terror outfit. The incident was reported last November from Srinagar. Top intelligence sources claimed that ISIS has been making sustained efforts to increase its footprint in the country specially with increasing use of the social media. However, Indian security agencies have been able to successfully neutralise ISIS’ efforts, especially in the Valley due to which it has not been able to make any presence in terror activities in the region. “Our agencies which is closely monitoring ISIS activities on social media have managed to either block or delete a lot of material on these platforms which are aimed at attracting the youth in the Valley”. “The trend continues in other parts of the country also due to which apart from the Valley also ISIS does not have significant presence despite sustained efforts in the country,” a senior intelligence official said.

Sources in Jammu and Kashmir Police said eyewitness accounts hint towards the role of a recent militant recruit, Esa Fazili. “There were apprehensions that Esa may have links with the Islamic State,” a senior Police officer privy to probe details said. “Yesterday’s [February 25] incident, and the IS claim, has given credence to such reports.” Sources said responsibility for the attack was first taken by the IS on a Telegram channel ‘Kashmir Villayah’. The Indian Express had earlier reported that the state police had found a few closed Telegram channels of the IS in Kashmir.A resident of Soura, Esa Fazili was studying engineering at Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah (BGSB) University in Rajouri before joining the militant ranks in August last year, sources said. They said Fazili had initially joined the Zakir Musa-led group of militants but when Zakir announced setting up Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, an al Qaeda affiliate, in Kashmir, Fazili had differences, as he was more inclined towards the Islamic State.Earlier in November 2017, Al Amaq had claimed that the IS had carried out an attack in Zakura, on Srinagar’s outskirts, in which a Policeman and a militant had been killed. The agency, however, had said that a Pakistani policeman was killed in the attack, raising doubts about its claim. The channel ‘Al-Qaraar’, investigation has found, also claimed that Srinagar militant Mugees Ahmad Mir, who was killed on November 17 last year in an encounter with the police, was the first militant of the terror outfit.
