AQIS plea

Recent activity in the terrorism sector on Pakistani soil open up a lot of questions as to where the number of people are coming from. The two most prominent terror spawning organizations working in the area are Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) or Al-Qaeda which is more properly referred to as the Al-Qaeda in Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). Intelligence reports regarding these two organizations have been confirmed due to a broadcasted claim after every terrorist attack holding their brand as the cause of the scenario. Pakistani army has done a lot regarding the decrease in terrorist activities following their 2014 mission; operation Zarb-e-Azab which searches for terrorist camps along the Pakistani regions suspect of hosting them and eradicates them. This has resulted in a lot of success for the Army who have destroyed multiple camps and taken down countless terrorists resulting in an exponential decrease in activity. Unfortunately, these two terrorist groups have found safe haven in Afghanistan and are getting funds from Indian agencies making them ever so formidable for Pakistan.

One of these two organizations AQIS has recently suffered a very huge loss following recent operations taken under Zarb-e-Azab. So much, that they are being forced to come out and ask for help. Claims from their camps and a few broadcasts have directly targeted the Kashmir population that are suffering from Indian brutalities. They are not open cries for help as one would assume. The notion from the camps are of a different kind with the crux being sympathetic towards the Kashmiri population. Besides egging the Pakistani government and army to fight back the Indian tyranny, they are also willing to offer their services to aid the people of the oppressed land. Expert analysis might conclude that this is a means to increase the rift between the two nations. Others believe that it could be a ploy to gain the trust of the Kashmiris and gain support for their cause. One thing is for certain, if such a news is true and they end up causing more disruption in the already war bitten area, it could lead to very dire consequences for all the sides.

The real reason that AQIS is targeting Kashmiris because of their mentality. AQIS works on achieving one goal and that is to cause disturbances and terror. They know that the Kashmiris are in a very frail sense of mind right now and this will get them to easily succumb to the terrorist side to instigate their own motive. One word against the opposing army and its brutalities will result in the Kashmiris jumping on the bandwagon to attain freedom. Whether it is to be free from the Indian army or just basic freedom from the war, AQIS will use that as a stimulus to get the Kashmiris on their side.

It’s a desperate plea of help from the battered forces of AQIS. Ever since the Pakistan Army started wiping out terror camps and successfully clearing out the insurgent forces, they have been frantic to find more numbers. This ploy can result in the gaining of a few men but mostly will result in failure. It’s the AQIS mentality that will lead them to failure and ultimately as it has done before, Pakistan Army will once again come out on top.
