It is a known fact that despite numerous warnings and anti-terrorist operations launched by the security forces along the borders and in the hinterland, the rogue country Pakistan never showed any signs of mending its ways as recent revelation by Inspector General (IG) of Border Security Force (BSF) Kashmir Frontier, Ashok Yadav has once again highlighted about the presence of terrorists at launch pads across the Line of Control (LoC), poised to infiltrate into the Kashmir Valley. He, however, reassured that the security forces are fully alert and prepared to thwart any such attempts but no one can deny that the situation is precarious and needs to be tackled with iron hands.
India has taken strong actions against Pakistan with Operation Sindoor being the latest in the series destroying terrorist camps deep inside Pakistan by using country’s insuperable missile technology but the neighbouring country’s inherent stubbornness makes it difficult to change the course of adversary nation, and that is the reason behind peace remaining evasive in the region. With India bravely facing the aforesaid challenges emerging from the soil of Pakistan, the unprincipled country reportedly has allowed another big challenge to germinate on its territory as reports coming from that side have confirmed about terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) creating a separate unit of women terrorists named as ‘Jamiat-ul-Mominat’.
Reportedly, the information came to light through a letter issued in the name of JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar. The reports have confirmed that the recruitment process for this new unit has started from October 8 at Bahawalpur, Pakistan. This unit will be commanded by Masood Azhar’s sister, Sadia Azhar. Sadia’s husband, Yusuf Azhar, was killed on May 7 during Operation Sindoor by the Indian Armed Forces. Considering the new challenge, it becomes imperative to get ready to counter this threat which needs a complete change of strategy as in the decades old terrorism in J&K, the security forces had never faced such a situation.
It is time that the think tank should upgrade and chalk out a new strategy to counter this challenge as it is better to nip the evil in the bud rather than allowing the same to thrive first. All said and done, those sitting at helm of affairs should devise a bold and dexterous strategy to counter the upcoming threat of women-led terrorism before the same takes a dangerous shape. As the threat is serious and unprecedented, a novel approach with increased intelligence and adept diplomacy is the need of the hour alongside security preparedness to ensure safety of the countrymen from this relatively new danger.
