Pakistan rejects Indian claim of cross-LOC infiltration

India on Tuesday called in the Pakistani envoy to lodge a strong protest over Islamabad’s “continuing cross-border terrorism” amid a sharp downturn in bilateral ties.

He was born on 17, 1995 in the village of Jia Bagga and was arrested by Indian authorities in Jammu and Kashmir on July 25, 2016 with weapons AK-47 rifle, live rounds, grenades, grenade launcher etc as also sophisticated communication equipment and other material of Pakistani/international origin, the NIA said.

The NIA IG also said that Ali had undergone three levels of training organised by the Lashkar-e-Taiba.

He is the fourth Pakistan terror suspect to be captured alive in Kashmir since the arrest of Mohammad Naveed Yakub, a 22-year-old from Pakistan’s Faisalabad city who joined LeT at a young age after getting indoctrinated at a local mosque.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Indian foreign secretary met Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit and issued a statement that India’s Foreign Ministry spokesman described as a “strong demarche”.

Ali during his questioning said that there were some army personnel at the training camp who came in at the last stage. “Details in this regard will be gathered”, the Spokesperson added.

Raising fingers over the leaders who encourage Kashmiri youth to join Jihad, Singh said “Those who motivated these children to come fwd in name of Jihad, have safely kept their children in safe havens in India’s metros & overseas”.

It also said that Bahadur Ali wrote to the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi seeking legal aid and assistance to meet his family.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has called for an investigation into the “brutalities and atrocities committed by Indian occupation forces”, protection of Kashmiris fundamental rights and implementation of UN Resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir.

India accuses Pakistan of training and arming militants in the portion it controls and sending them to the Indian side, a claim its neighbor denies.

The killing of Wani on July 8 has led to a spiral of protests and violence in Kashmir, leaving over 50 people dead in clashes with security forces.
