No place for terrorism

One more property of a terrorist is attached, and this time the terrorist is of the darkest chapter of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, Al-Umar Chief Mushtaq Zargar alias Latram of the Nowhatta area of Srinagar. After joining the ranks of the JKLF, involved in the kidnapping of Rubaiya Sayeed, the daughter of the then Home Minister, and he formed his own terrorist organization, Al-Umar Mujahideen, killed many till 1992, when he was apprehended but was released in exchange for the passengers of the 1999 IC-814 Kandhar Plane hijack. Went to POJK afterwards and kept on with his anti-India activities unchecked. The house attached is just a two-marla house at Khasra Number 182 at Ganai Mohalla, near Jamia Masjid, Nowhatta, Srinagar, but the message is big and it was done without any protests. Till a few years ago, the writ of terrorism was completely unchallenged in Kashmir; terrorists struck at will; stone pelting and shutdowns were routine affairs. The whole scenario changed when the present GoI started calling a spade a spade and gave a free hand to security forces, and the rest is history. Kashmir has changed, and who so ever carried on the anti-India agenda is paying the ultimate price, having been killed in encounters and having properties attached. The NIA, ED, DRI, CBI, SIA, and Jammu and Kashmir Police are all working overtime in tandem to wipe out the last strains of terrorism from Jammu and Kashmir. The rule of law has been restored, and the writ of the Indian state is now running the show. The message is clear-cut: sooner or later, the law will catch you, and the Indian state is not going to spare anyone. All the perpetrators of terrorism operating from Pakistan must understand the reality: there is no place on earth to hide from Indian agencies. The fruits of democracy are being enjoyed by the people here, but as an exporter of terrorism, Pakistan is now a failed state, a harsh and bitter reality.
