Government Warned Of Spike In Violence In Jammu And Kashmir, No Troop Withdrawal

New Delhi is gearing up for a hot summer in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). The government has been warned by security agencies of a possible spike in violence after the meeting of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) concludes. Pakistan is in the Grey list of the FATF for money laundering and terror financing.

Agencies are apprehensive that there will be fresh attempts to push in terrorists especially those from Afghanistan who are not only well-trained but battle-hardened as well. “There are very credible inputs about terrorists from Afghanistan trying to infiltrate March onwards and the area of infiltration may not be limited to J&K only and could take place through areas such as Punjab and Rajasthan as well,” a senior ministry of home affairs (MHA) official said on condition of anonymity.
