For the last three days, the army's encounter with the terrorists is going on in the forests of Kokernag in Gadol. There is no definite information about how many terrorists are in this encounter, but according to sources, 3 to 4 terrorists are being reported. The joint operation of the Army and The Jammu and Kashmir Police is currently underway.
On September 12, the army received information about the hiding of terrorists in the forests, after which this operation started, this operation was stopped at night, but the operation was started again from the next day i.e. 13 September, which is still going on. The sad news is that 3 of our officer-rank soldiers have been martyred in this encounter.
The martyrs in the Kashmir encounter were Colonel Manpreet Singh and Major Ashish Dhunchak, commanding officers of the Army's 19 Rashtriya Rifles. Apart from this, DSP Humayun Bhat of Jammu and Kashmir Police has been martyred.
In fact, when the operation was started again on September 13, the terrorists laid siege and attacked with an ambush. Our soldiers were martyred after being trapped in the indiscriminate firing of terrorists. This encounter continued throughout the day today. During this time, not only the sounds of bullets but also the sound of bomb blasts, echoed in the forests.
The Resistance Front, a banned organization associated with Pakistan's terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, has claimed responsibility for this attack by ambushing the army. The Resistance Front was formed in the year 2019, its chief commander is Sheikh Sajjad Gul.
This terrorist organization has been banned in January this year. TRF's main job is to prepare Kashmiri youth for Lashkar-e-Taiba. This organization collects terrorists for Lashkar. In the recent past, the name of this organization has also been coming up behind the targeted killing of Kashmiri Pandits and migrant laborers.
In June 2018, Rising Kashmir editor Shujaat Bukhari was also killed by terrorists of the same organization. TRF is considered to be a wing of Lashkar, which motivates the youth to become terrorists in a high-tech manner. This terrorist organization was very active on social media.
In January this year, the TRF had threatened to target Sikhs living in Kashmir. It was said in the threat that if Kashmiri Sikhs joined the police recruitment or helped them, they would be killed. Many defense experts believe that this organization was created after the removal of Article 370 on August 5, 2019.
In fact, since 2019, There has been a lot of pressure on Pakistan from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). The FATF was preparing to impose several sanctions on Pakistan on charges of financing terrorists. Not only this, the IMF also refused to give financial help to Pakistan on the charge of promoting terror.
Pakistan's compulsion, which was on the verge of becoming poor, was that it was not able to help Lashkar openly. Therefore, by putting Lashkar in sleep mode, Pakistan created TRF with its help.
