Kashmiris Are Not Happy with BJP and They Are Voting to Make this Clear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp4xdCiToYU A.S. Dulat May 18, 2024
The Wire Amarjit Singh Dulat, a former Head of R&AW and an acknowledged expert on terrorism and the Kashmir Valley, says “it is not correct to say militancy is finished in Kashmir”, adding it keeps popping up from time to time in different places and has now, presently, spread to the south. Mr. Dulat also says “Kashmiris are not happy with the BJP” adding “let’s put it absolutely, directly straight”. However, he adds that “today the Kashmiri wants to participate in elections” because they want to be ruled by people of their choice. Mr. Dulat says the turnout will be even higher when assembly elections are held.
his new book ‘Covert: The Psychology of War and Peace’, co-authored with Gen. Asad Durrani, a former Head of Pakistan’s ISI. The interview starts with a discussion of his relationship with Gen. Durrani, who he accepts and describes as a friend with whom he has closely collaborated to write two books. The first was called ‘The Spy Chronicles’. The interview has an extensive discussion on Gen. Durrani, which I will leave you to see and hear for yourself. Mr. Dulat is not just an admirer of Gen. Durrani but clearly likes him. He speaks of “the chemistry” between them and of Gen. Durrani’s winning “candour”, which makes him “special”.
Towards the end of the interview, Mr. Dulat explains what he means when he says that in peace-making it’s the singer not the song that is more important. He explains that the ‘singers’ in Pakistan are willing and keen for better relations but in India the ‘singers’ have begun to ask what is to be gained by making efforts to improve the relationship, particularly since Pakistan is increasingly an inefficient and incompetent if not a failed state.

There was no mention of Baisaran, which had no history of terror activity or attacks, in these inputs.

They were anticipating an attack. They thought it would be a hotel on the outskirts of Srinagar… because civilian killings have happened mostly in south Kashmir,” the official said. Hence, combing operations were undertaken around Dachigam, Nishat, and adjacent areas over 10-15 days preceding the Pahalgam attack... The two (of the terrorist) from south Kashmir had crossed over to Pakistan, but there was no record of their re-entry. It is likely they returned to India from the Kathua side in Jammu,” said the official. What’s also now known, the officials said, is that these two local terrorists “mingled” with the tourists before the attack commenced. In fact, they herded the tourists to a food court complex, where the other two terrorists, suspected to be from Pakistan, fired at them at close range, the officials said.

Pakistan warns of an Indian attack, while quietly urging de-escalation More than a week after a shocking militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir — prompting the worst crisis between India and Pakistan in at least half a decade — Islamabad is awaiting its archrival’s next move.
The Indian government has accused Pakistan of “linkages” to the April 22 militant assault on tourists at a mountain resort in Pahalgam, which killed 26 people, the deadliest attack of its kind in Indian-administered Kashmir in recent memory.
Conflict Between India and Pakistan By the Center for Preventive Action https://www.cfr.org/global-conflict-tracker/conflict/conflict-between-india-and-pakistan Indian and Pakistani forces have exchanged fire across the LOC every day since the attack. The United States and China have called for de-escalation, with Beijing advocating for an independent investigation into the attack and its suspects. Islamabad and New Delhi have since traded military threats, with India’s navy testing long-range missiles. On April 28, Pakistan’s defense ministry expressed belief that an Indian military attack on Pakistani territory was “imminent” and that the Pakistan military was preparing reinforcements. Meanwhile, India has launched a crackdown in Kashmir, as Indian security forces have arrested over 1,500 Kashmiris and demolished homes of suspected militants.

Together, we strongly condemned the recent attack and reaffirmed that no religion teaches or justifies violence. We stand in solidarity with the bereaved families and hold them in our prayers.
