Indian security forces have reportedly broken up a terrorist recruitment module in the Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir, successfully rescuing five youths, including two juveniles. It is being suggested that the recent terror attacks in the area could be a BJP-planned attempt to disrupt Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra in IIOJ&K. In response, the Indian state-sponsored media has been quick to blame Pakistan and has condemned the offered peace initiative from Pakistan’s Prime Minister. Additionally, the Indian media has become a spokesperson for the BJP, criticizing PDP and MC for their remarks calling for the Indian government to stop human rights violations and cease the demolition of Muslim homes and properties in IIOJK.

Pakistan appears to have recognized that they cannot win on the battlefield, hence resorting to the tactic of proxies, according to General Bakshi, “The new strategy of Pakistan is now evident.”

They use booby traps to attack & inflict maximum damage. Senior CRPF officials have gathered evidence from the site of twin blasts in Jammu’s Baramulla area.”
