New Delhi, Feb 6 (NationPress) The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif, along with the Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, is intensifying efforts to stir up anti-India feelings among the populace. While Pakistan has been extending protection to Jaish-e-Mohammad rallies, both leaders have also been inciting the people in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

The army and government have approved rallies organized by Jaish-e-Mohammad in regions such as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Swabi, and Sindh, focusing on anti-India themes to rally sentiment against New Delhi.

Recently, both Sharif and Munir have made several visits to PoK, delivering incendiary speeches.

During these speeches, they asserted that the liberation of Kashmir is imminent. They also emphasized the army's preparedness to confront India.

Sharif further claimed that India has no alternative but to grant self-determination to the Kashmiri people, labeling India as an aggressive nation that disrupts regional stability.

Officials suggest these events are strategically timed as Pakistan faces challenges in Balochistan, where numerous security personnel have fallen in fierce clashes with the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) recently. Public discontent is rising against the establishment, which is engaged in multiple conflicts amid an economic downturn.

There are growing concerns regarding Imran Khan's treatment and current status.

Additionally, the army's reputation has suffered following India's successful Operation Sindoor, leading to public doubts about military effectiveness.

One official noted that these events are a deliberate effort to incite anti-India sentiments as a distraction from the establishment's failures.

Another source indicated that the rallies organized by terrorist groups were sanctioned by the establishment. These events are heavily guarded by Pakistan Police and other security agencies, with participants brandishing AK-47s while calling for violence against India.

An Intelligence Bureau official stated that more such rallies supporting terrorist groups, openly backed by the establishment, are expected in the near future.

Post Operation Sindoor, recruitment levels have plummeted, and these rallies aim to revitalize recruitment efforts, the official added.

Moreover, the establishment is openly showcasing its security support to signal potential recruits that they have official backing.

Concerns arose when the establishment could not safeguard groups like Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Tayyiba during Operation Sindoor. This explains why security is being provided for rallies of organizations designated as terrorist by both the UN and US.

In PoK, agencies have discovered that, beyond inciting the populace and diverting attention, efforts are being made at the highest levels to escalate tensions.

The army's inability to assist terrorists waiting at launch pads for infiltration into India has frustrated the establishment. Local tensions may create a distraction for Indian forces, allowing terrorists to exploit the situation to infiltrate Jammu and Kashmir.

Earlier this week, Indian security agencies uncovered a plot by Jaish-e-Mohammad to establish new cells in Jammu and Kashmir.

Additionally, a significant search operation is underway to track down remaining foreign terrorists in Kashmir, further complicating matters for the Pakistani establishment, officials indicate.
