New Delhi, Nov 27 (NationPress) Following Operation Sindoor, terrorist organizations in Pakistan, notably the Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba, have suffered significant setbacks. Their activities in India, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir, have nearly ceased.

Officials indicate that these groups will require considerable time to recover before attempting to resume operations in Jammu and Kashmir. Currently, the ISI is devising a new approach aimed at establishing a large network of over-ground workers (OGW) in the region.

The ISI intends to minimize the presence of Pakistani terrorists within India, shifting its focus toward local operatives. The goal is to frame terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir as an internal matter, which also mitigates the risks posed by infiltrations.

Since Operation Sindoor, nearly all attempts at infiltration have been thwarted by the Indian armed forces. Those awaiting the signal to launch have also ceased their attempts, according to another official.

The intercepted communications by intelligence agencies strongly suggest the activation of local modules in Jammu and Kashmir.

During these discussions, locals on the ISI payroll are frequently urged to recruit more youth and develop a substantial network of OGWs in Jammu and Kashmir.

Moreover, the ISI seeks to establish additional modules akin to the one that was dismantled in Hyderabad. An official from the Intelligence Bureau states that their analysis indicates the ISI is aiming to localize terrorism completely in India. This strategy involves conducting more attacks solely by Indians, ensuring that the trail does not trace back to Islamabad.

Officials report that the ISI essentially wants India to experience a situation reminiscent of the period when the Indian Mujahideen was operational. These insights have triggered a heightened state of alert within the security apparatus. Police forces nationwide have been instructed to monitor suspicious activities closely.

Additionally, former affiliates of groups like the Popular Front of India (PFI) are under scrutiny due to indications of revival attempts for the banned organization.

Security personnel claim that the ISI is momentarily reducing its activities along the borders of both Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir. While Pakistan is primarily focused on constructing a vast network of OGWs, it is also attempting to establish numerous modules throughout India.

Intelligence agencies have noted a significant increase in ISI activities in Bangladesh since Muhammad Yunus assumed leadership. The ISI has directed Lashkar-e-Taiba chief, Hafiz Saeed, and Jaish-e-Mohammad leader, Masood Azhar, to intensify operations in Bangladesh.

The ISI is working to unite the terrorist factions in Bangladesh and Pakistan, aiming for coordinated attacks in India, particularly targeting the northeastern states and West Bengal.

The ISI is keen for both Azhar and Saeed to enhance their involvement in operations within Bangladesh. While Saeed has already commenced his efforts, Azhar is yet to engage. The ISI is also planning to dispatch both terrorists to Bangladesh soon to interact with local cadres and elevate their morale. Notably, Lashkar-e-Taiba, in anticipation of Saeed's visit, recently dispatched one of his close aides to Bangladesh.

The ISI believes that if either the Lashkar-e-Taiba or Jaish-e-Mohammad can execute an attack on India from Bangladesh, it would serve as a significant morale booster for the cadres of these two organizations based in Pakistan. Following Operation Sindoor, the morale of these cadres has plummeted, and their leaders are struggling to reverse this trend.

Indian agencies face a challenging task as Pakistan becomes increasingly desperate in the wake of Operation Sindoor. Officials are vigilantly monitoring ISI activities, both domestically and along the border with Bangladesh.
