Indian security forces in the Kashmir region have arrested a recruiter linked to Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) and Jamaat-e-Islami (JeM), two Pakistan-backed Islamic terrorist groups waging jihad against India. The police also nabbed two of his newly-recruited mujahideen along with a weapons cache, Indian media reports say.
Hizbul Mujahideen, a brainchild of Jamaat-e-Islami, was created in late 1980s to carry out a Taliban-style jihad in India’s Muslim-majority Kashmir. Thousands of Indian civilians, security Personnel and soldiers have been killed in the Pakistan-sponsored jihad that rages for more than three decades.
The latest arrests are part of a counterterrorism drive stepped up by Prime Minister Modi’s government after a series of deadly jihad terror attacks on Kashmir’s dwindling Hindu population. Since early 1990s, terrorists in Kashmir region have been carrying out coordinated massacres of native Hindus and Sikhs, driving them out of their ancestral home.
