Blame ISI for influence and

many front organizations

Jammu and Kashmir National Students Federation (JKNSF) in Muzaffarabad has
demanded that the
Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT)
vacate the area and accused the
Inter Services
Intelligence’s of interference and castigated the
administration's apathy to curb terror. The JKNSF has resolved not to allow
Muzaffarabad to become another Karachi and have warned that they will resort to
a jihad of their own to destroy Lashkar's bases and training camps if no action
was initiated against LeT.
Apparently, the LeT the provoked a strong backlash when its cadre men fired
indiscriminately to injure a tailor and his brother in Muzaffarabad over a
minor dispute. This isolated incident sparked off protest against the LeT and
is highlighting several unreported atrocities perpetrated by the LeT on the
local population in Muzaffarabad and its surrounding areas.
Pakistan banned the LeT and closed their offices after 9/11 attacks but
operations merely went underground and now they seem to be mushrooming overtly
all over in POK with renewed vigor and newer names. LeT cadres are reportedly
freely moving in Muzaffarabad and its surrounding areas without any fear of
retribution or control.
