- Pakistan’s Foreign Office says India committed 1,081 cease-fire violations along the LoC and the Working Boundary since the beginning of the year
- India accuses Islamabad of organizing and supporting a new “terror group” in Kashmir
ISLAMABAD: Azad Jammu and Kashmir President Sardar Masood Khan said on Monday that New Delhi’s recent activity in Kashmiri territory is indicative of “false flag” attempts that would have dire consequences in the region and beyond.
“India alleges that Pakistan is sending militants and COVID-19 across the Line of Control (LoC) and also that Pakistan is behind the revival of militancy in Kashmir,” Khan told Arab News, referring to the border which divides the Kashmir region between India and Pakistan.
“These are all typical steps that they take before the false flag operation, so we have good sense that they are up to something,” Khan said, “Any act of aggression will have dire consequences not just for Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan, but for the entire world.”
He accused India of taking advantage of the world’s focus on the coronavirus outbreak to commit more atrocities in the part of Kashmir under its administration. “The occupation authorities have intensified the killing of Kashmiri youth and escalated the situation along the Line of Control. In the past month, they have killed more than 40 forty young men in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir in staged encounters,” Khan said.
He expressed his concerns that false-flag activity by Indian authorities would aim at Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan regions.
The AJK president said the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) can intervene to help stabilize the situation. “Saudi Arabia, UAE and other Gulf countries have influence on India, they should persuade and ask (India) not to start another cycle of aggression in the region.”
On Sunday, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan also said in a Twitter post that India is attempting to create an opportunity to conduct a false-flag operation by presenting the self-determination struggle of Kashmiris as Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.

The premier’s statement followed accusations by the Indian chief of the army staff, Gen. M.M. Naravane, that Islamabad was organizing and supporting a new “terror group” in Kashmir.
On Monday, Pakistan’s Foreign Office issued a statement, according to which since the beginning of the year India has so far committed 1,081 cease-fire violations along the LoC and the Working Boundary (WB), targeting “civilian populated areas with artillery fire, heavy-caliber mortars and automatic weapons.”
