Terrorists Being Hunted And Separatists Groups Being Starved Of Foreign Funds In Kashmir
Several so-called NGOs have been nurtured by Pakistan to carry out anti-India propaganda but cash crunch in recent months has caused much anger against Islamabad.
In J&K, there was a time when only the Army seemed to be fighting the terrorists , whereas all others were on wait and watch duty.
No wonder even when nearly 500 terrorists were being killed every year in South Kashmir only, the vacancy used to be filled within no time from across the border. The separatists and even the local political parties had a field day plotting anti Government agendas.
Now the entire machinery of the Country is operating on one grid. So while on one hand terrorists are being killed by the Army , their under ground supporters are being kept on the run by the Central and State Security Forces.
Even the Separatists organisations like the Hurriyat are in for a total shock. There is no more appeasement of any kind. Indian intelligence agencies are working diligently to ensure that enough evidence is gathered against them to send them behind bar for a long long time.Separatist are also feeling the heat on the financial front.
Separatists are now complaining of a resource crunch after Indian agencies cracked down on terror funding in a big way. Efforts to defame the Indian government have been jolted because money from across the border is only a rare reason for cheer now.
The Home Ministry has asked for a list to be prepared which would have names of all such NGOs and groups which receive money from Pakistan to spread a false propaganda against India – within J&K as well as globally.
Groups claiming to be Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and spreading an anti-India agenda have long been suspected to receive funding from Pakistan. And it is this funding that has reportedly dried up since 2018, leaving the groups fuming and directing their ire at Islamabad.
Officials in the Indian intelligence agencies have identified several NGOs with a proven track record of spreading anti-India messages within Jammu and Kashmir and in countries like the United States and the UK.
These NGOs claim to have no political allegiances to any government but are, in fact, nurtured by Pakistan. Recent months have been torrid, however, with a massive cash crunch plaguing these NGOs.
According to a senior official in the Indian intelligence establishment, NGOs with anti-India objectives based in the UK have been receiving funds through the Pakistani High Commission in London.
They are then tasked with levelling unfounded allegations which could range from human rights violation to issues of minorities in India and use of force against civilians.
Since 2018, however, these NGOs have been unable to function at full capacity as money from Pakistan has been scarce. Repeated interactions with the Pakistani High Commission too have proven to be unsuccessful.
While it is not yet clear why funding from Pakistan has evaporated since 2018, the country’s links with such groups and similar fake organisations around the world have been exposed.
