Indian Army caught two Pakistani infiltrators linked to LeT entering Kashmir; says ‘Pakistan’s attempt proves futile’
New Delhi, September 4: Busting Pakistan’s deliberate attempts to infiltrate terrorism by creating disruption in the Valley, Indian Army has been giving them a befitting reply. Taking hold of two Pakistani nationals associated with the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), the Indian Army caught them while trying to enter Kashmir.
Addressing the media, General Officer Commanding (GoC) of the Army’s 15 Corps Lt. General K.J.S. Dhillon said, “Pakistan is desperate for terrorists to infiltrate... to disrupt peace in the Valley.” General Officer Commanding (GoC) of the Army’s 15 Corps Lt. General K.J.S. Dhillon said at a joint briefing with Additional Director General of Police, Kashmir, Munir Khan.
Dhillon said the two Pakistani nationals associated with the LeT were apprehended on August 21. Two videos were played during the press briefing showing the apprehended Pakistanis confessing to infiltration. Speaking further he said, “These two videos very clearly show how Pakistan, its Army and the citizens of Pakistan are being pushed into Kashmir to undertake terrorist activities in the Valley to disrupt the peace that is prevailing, especially after August 5.”
Additional Director General of Police, Kashmir, Munir Khan said infiltration attempts are being made continuously. “Many such (infiltration) attempts have been foiled by the Indian Army so far. As far as the law and order is concerned, since August 5 this year, one thing which we have ensured and which we have been very successful at is that no civil casualty in any law and order action has taken place and the credit goes to all the forces for operating on the ground,” he said.
Adding further he said that the army men have been given clear orders and instructions that they have to avoid any kind of civil casualty and they are adhering to it, adding that things were improving gradually and hopefully they would fall into place and normalcy would return soon.
Lt. Gen. Dhillon said that in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), all the launch pads were full with the terrorists of various 'tanzims' (terror groups). He said that the two captured terrorists were housed at the Pakistani forward posts of the Army and then they were guided by the Pakistani regular troops up to the LoC. As the terrorists in their statements have said, all the launch pads across the LoC, not only opposite Kashmir but also opposite Poonch, Rajouri and Jammu, were full of terrorists of various groups, and every day infiltrations were being attempted, Lt. Gen. Dhillon said.

About the arms and ammunition recovered from the two terrorists, he said that war-like stores and some IED materials were recovered from them. Lt. Gen. Dhillon said that anti-terrorist operations were going on and there was no let-up in the operations in the hinterland. “As you are aware in the last 30 days, terrorists have been killed or apprehended. So there is no let-up in the anti-terrorists operations,” he added.
