Latest inputs with the Central intelligence agencies confirm that commanders of several militant outfits held a meeting in the second week of July at Muzaffarabad in which it was decided to maximise infiltration of militants into the Indian territory to revive militancy in Jammu and Kashmir and in other parts of the country.
Sources said that the meeting was chaired by Syed Salahuddin, chief of Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) and was attended by area commanders, as well as launching commanders, of Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT), HM and Al-Badar.
Sources added that more than 30 persons including some officials of the ISI were also present in the meeting.
“The meeting deliberated on the issue of maximising infiltration of militants into the Indian territory in order to revive the militancy in J&K and other parts of the country. It was also decided in the meeting that fresh infiltration bid will start from last week of July,” sources added.
According to available inputs, a group of 15-20 LeT militants is undergoing three months training at Jhandi Chountra camp.
They are being imparted training in handling of special equipment like Global Positioning System (GPS), compass and several arms and ammunitions, sources said.
Inputs also reveal that militants have chalked out a plan to push in funds for various activities like stone pelting and organising protests in a bid to engage the Indian security forces. As per inputs, Manzoor Ahmed Dar and Ghulam Mohammad Bhatt, both former HM militants, have been assigned to orchestrate such activities in the state.
