Militant Group Photograph Goes Viral

July 14

Amid the swift rise in the Militant recruitment in Kashmir, another photograph of Kashmiri Militants has gone viral over Social Networking.

In this new photograph, 14 Militants have posed with automatic rifles in a Burhan- Style photograph which had gone viral in 2015.

More than 100 Youth have joined Militancy in the first six months of 2018, as per figures available to The Kashmiriyat.

Despite repeated verbal attempts of the Director General of Jammu Kashmir Police, SP vaid, Militancy is showing no signs of declination.

In fact the Army General of India has been constantly asking the local Kashmiri youth to give up arms and asking people to keep their wards away from militancy.

Though Militancy is growing swiftly as more local youth are picking up arms to strengthen the Militant ranks, Figures available to The Kashmiriyat suggest that at least 100 youth have picked up arms this year.

South Kashmir districts have witnessed a surge in youth joining the Militant ranks after the encounter of Burhan Wani on July 08, 2016.

Despite the Indian Army having launched ‘Operation All Out’ and intensifying the Anti Militancy operations, the local Militancy is on rise.

Militancy this year has seen a huge rise after the three encounter that were held on a single day on April 01 in South Kashmir ending with the death of 13 local Militants.

The Himalayan region has seen large number of youth picking up arms since an armed insurgency began against the Indian rule in 1988.

Since their partition both India and Pakistan have fought three wars claiming the region in its entirety.
