Udhampur attack: After Kasab, LeT terrorist Qasim Khan captured alive!

In a major success for the Indian Armed forces, one of the two terrorists who attacked the Border Security Forces (BSF) in Udhampur, was captured alive.

Jammu and Kashmir, Aug. 5: In a major success for the Indian Armed forces, one of the two terrorists who attacked the Border Security Forces (BSF) in Udhampur, was captured alive. The detained terrorist has been identified as Qasim Khan alias Usman. Qasim is allegedly associated with terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and is from Faisalabad, Pakistan.

Terrorists attacked a BSF convoy early on Wednesday morning, killing two soldiers and injuring 10 others.

“Preliminary questioning has revealed that the terrorist, Usman, is from Faislabad in Pakistan,” Danish Rana, Inspector General of Jammu, told reporters. Although the investigation is under-way, the arrest of Qasim once again exposed Pakistan hand in terrorism against India from its soil. Who can forget the 26/11 Mumbai attack that was conspired with the help of Pakistan and Ajmal Kasab, who was captured alive.

Indian claims of Pakistan’s involvement in terrorist activities in India got a shot in the arm when a former Pakistan investigator revealed about Kasab and that 26/11 was planned and executed by Pakistan.

Pakistan has been violating the ceasefire on border outposts along the International Border regularly in the recent past. While the Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif handshakes with Indian counterpart Narendra Modi, Pakistan rangers attacks at Indian attempting infiltration through militants.

Pakistan’s apathy in countering terrorism seems also evident with the release of Mumbai 26/11 attack mastermind Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi. Pakistan’s insensitive and lawless actions against the terror activities only prove that India’s neighbour is constantly trying to create a sense of hostility in the sub-continent and funding terror outfits.

Inspite of such incidents on the rise and with no end in sight, the Indian-government is just issuing warnings to the neighbour. These incidents show Modi-government lacks seriousness and has taken a soft stand towards Pakistan. Now, it is time for India to respond and give the notorious-Pakistan government  a stern retaliation which it rightly deserves. If the Pakistan-sponsored terrorism continues with their constant ceasefire violations on Indian border, India needs to send a strong signal.
