In a recent statement, Inspector General, BSF Kashmir Frontier, Ashok Yadav, speaking to reporters in Srinagar said that \u201cterrorists\u201d were positioned at launch pads across the LoC, preparing to infiltrate into the Kashmir valley.<\/p>\n<p>However, rights groups and political observers stress that the ongoing struggle in IIOJK is indigenous, deeply rooted in the people\u2019s decades-long demand for the UN-recognized right to self-determination.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts highlight that India often raises alarms about infiltration, especially ahead of winter, as a tactic to divert global attention from widespread human rights violations in IIOJK. By branding the Kashmiris\u2019 movement as \u201cterrorism,\u201d they added, New Delhi attempts to suppress legitimate political aspirations and resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Observers underline that Kashmiris have repeatedly sacrificed their lives to assert their inalienable right and have sustained their resistance despite curfews, military crackdowns, and widespread detentions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact remains that Kashmir is an unresolved international dispute. This is not about cross-border terrorism, but about the unfulfilled UN promise of a plebiscite,\u201d one rights activist noted.<\/p>\n<p>They further maintained that India\u2019s narrative of \u201claunch pads\u201d and \u201cinfiltration attempts\u201d is a deliberate effort to mislead both domestic and international audiences, while the ground reality reflects a genuine, popular, indigenous uprising against Indian occupation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Srinagar: Rights groups and political analysts have strongly rejected recent Indian claims about the existence of \u201cterrorist launch pads\u201d across the Line of Control (LoC), calling them part of New Delhi\u2019s propaganda campaign aimed at maligning the Kashmiris\u2019 legitimate freedom movement and Pakistan.
