Even though civilian fatalities fell down in 2022 by 13.5 per cent as compared to 2021 and the security forces response increased in similar comparison, data shows that Islamic radicalisation is increasing in India and is principally being fuelled by proscribed groups in Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Although Pakistan’s economy has hit the rock bottom with forex reserves at USD 4.5 billion, double digit inflation and weak currency, the deep state of the Islamic Republic is hell bent on creating internal security situation in India rather than recover from the economic abyss.
Inputs reveal that Rawalpindi has activated all the Pak-based terrorist groups in Kashmir, has dramatically increased weapon supplies through drones, sending consignments of Afghan heroin to fund terror in India and even funding construction of mosques and madrassas within five kilometres of India-Nepal border.
While the security scenario in Jammu and Kashmir improved in 2022 with 261 fatalities (33 civilians, 30 security forces and 198 terrorists) as compared to 278 in 2021 (37 civilians, 47 SF personnel and 194 terrorists), Pakistani deep state is actively supporting the terror network in the UT with the help of high profile Pak prisoners in J&K jails. Of the 194 terrorists neutralized by security forces in 2021, 20 were Pakistanis. This number increased to 56 out of 198 terrorists killed in 2022.
