Mufti Rauf Asghar, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) operational commander responsible for the Uri attack, and Mohammed Umair, nephew of the terror outfit’s chief Masood Azhar and the prime suspect believed to have masterminded the Pulwama attack, were recently spotted attending a JeM rally in Rawalakot, revealing Pakistan’s real agenda.

CNN-News18 has accessed the video which flies in the face of Pakistan’s assertions that it does not harbour terror groups.

CNN-News18 has also obtained footage of a Hurriyat-e-Pasban rally addressing the Israel issue where JeM chairman Uzair Gazali and Usman Hashmi Nayab were in attendance. The rally featured slogans against India and in support of Kashmir’s victory.

Top intelligence sources indicate that these activities represent a clear revival of the Kashmiri agenda by Pakistan’s security forces and non-state actors.

Top intelligence sources have also told CNN-News18 that Pakistan is no longer relying on LoC crossings and is instead radicalising Kashmiri youth online and providing them valid travel documents to enter the country, marking a major shift in its Kashmir terror strategy. These youths, due to their domain knowledge, are then used as handlers for foreign terrorists. CNN-News18 has also accessed the list of Kashmiri terrorists sitting in Pakistan and carrying out terror activities.

The sources revealed that post-2014, Pakistan-backed agencies have evolved their tactics to recruit and radicalise Kashmiri youth into terrorist organisations using legal documentation. This strategy avoids the risks and logistical challenges of illegal LoC crossings, leveraging the relative freedom of movement afforded by legal documentation.

More than 300 J&K residents travelled to Pakistan on valid travel documents, and reports indicate that no less than 40 individuals ended up as active collaborators. These deep-rooted assets of the adversary receive illegal arms and ammunition training in the camps of proscribed terrorist organisations. They join terrorist organisations, infiltrate illegally through the border, and actively carry out terrorist attacks on civilians and security forces in J&K. At least 15 individuals were killed in different encounters upon their return to J&K.
