The ‘friendly and peace-loving’ Pakistan government has adopted a new strategy to dealwith Taliban by giving them an option to either become part of Jihad against India, or decay in a local jail. There are already 60 surrendered Jihadis who are are to infiltrate into India from POK/LOC. By doing this it is trying to turn situation into its advantage, without having to fight against them. There are clear signals of increase in infiltration in coming 15-20 days, that is when winter will also begin to set in. There are nearly 250-300 Jihadis armed with sophisticated weapons waiting to cross the LOC.

Our View: Indian Army and BSF have been confirming increased border violations, and with the festive seasons around, the militants would definitely keep this in mind and try to attack some of the country’s sensitive cities.
