The Army has urged the people to reject the call of Pakistan proxies and separatists to March to the Army’s Badami Bagh Cantonment in Srinagar on Monday as it was yet “another attempt to pit the civilian population against the Security Forces.”
An Army spokesman said on Sunday that the “Indian Army strongly condemns this call by Pak Proxies and advises people not to fall prey to such designs of anti-national forces.”
The vested interests are continuously at work to instigate and mobilise gullible youths to encounter sites. The call given by Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) for the march to Badami Bagh Cantonment is another such attempt.
Indian Army is always with the people of Kashmir and would foil all such evil attempts of Terrorist-Separatist-Pakistan nexus to pit the civilian population against the security forces, said the spokesman.
The public is once again advised not to pay heed to this misleading call by JRL. Indian Army, along with all the security agencies and the civil administration, is fighting terrorism and Proxy War, sponsored by Pakistan and its proxies in Kashmir. The objective of the Security Forces (SFs) is to bring peace and normalcy in the Valley with the support of the people, the spokesman said.
SFs have eliminated a large number of terrorists trying to infiltrate along the Line of Control and neutralised an even larger number of them in the hinterland this year to improve the overall security situation, making huge sacrifices themselves. These terrorists were involved in many cases of gruesome killings of innocent Kashmiris including civilians, SPOs, Police personnel and other Security Force personnel while on leave.
SFs make every attempt to avoid any loss of civilian lives in cross-fire and minimise collateral damage to property. Loss of any civilian life is always painful for the Security Forces. However, the vested interests are continuously at work to instigate and mobilise gullible youths to encounter sites, the Army spokesman added.
