PoK unrest leaves Lashkar, Jaish, Hizbul leaderships on backfoot; weakens Kashmir narrativeProtests and clashes in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir have reportedly increased pressure on militant groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Hizbul Mujahideen. The official said the terror groups were created by Pakistan with the primary objective of targeting Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). If J&K remains peaceful and PoK is marred by violence, then these terror groups cannot push their agenda. “This automatically punctures the agenda of the Inter Services Intelligence-backed terror groups. While the Hizbul Mujahideen chief has been vocal about the issue, the heads of the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed are relatively quiet.
