I've always argued that regardless of who might be running & funding the training camps in Afghanistan (and FATA until the operations), the problem remains that these people are able to cross over easily and conduct these attacks.Interesting Question.
Now, I have Three Questions For you :
1. If the past attacks which occurred in Pakistan are analysed with the SAME/EXACT approach ( Origin of Explosives, Nationality of Participants and Equipment Source ) Can they and any future incidents be relaxed from any Indian Connection by You AND Pakistani Agencies ?
The TTP, BLA and their off shoots continue to find sanctuary in Afghanistan, yet Pakistan dramatically reduced terrorism in the country by domestic actions and enhanced border controls and patrolling. Mullah Fazlullah continued to live in Afghanistan and lead the TTP till last year, yet Swat has remained peaceful for years now since he and his murderous hordes were driven out.
In the Pulwama attack, all the elements are local. It's not even some complex, coordinated assault you can claim required months of training in some camp in Pakistan.
So what? Did they personally train this man? Did they Western Union money to him? Are you so blinded that you can't see that hatred towards India exists among Kashmiris and that there are enough people there that can be further indoctrinated locally to sacrifice themselves while attacking Indian security forces they see as an occupying force?2. ..., JeM , LeT all have done so OPENLY. Infact hafiz Saeed, Masood Azhar and their Likes are "Normal" citizens who happen to be Declared Terrorists by UN.
3. Regarding the Pakistani Connection : JeM has claimed the Responsibility and JeM is based in Pakistan is that Enough to at-least "suspect" a "Pakistani" connection ?
Do you really think that the pictures and videos of Kashmiris strapped to the front of the vehicles of Indian security forces, victims of pellet guns, stories of innocent Kashmiris being arrested and killed by Indian security forces etc don't have a damaging impact on a local population already seething with a desire to become independent? And this is just the stuff that we can track on local and international media! Do you realize how much more information gets transmitted by word of mouth? How narratives about an 'occupying force' are interpreted, exaggerated and transmitted from person to person? How that narrative is impacted by every subsequent event?
And I still see many Indians threaten and rant about 'settling Kashmir with people from the rest of India' - do any of you even realize how that kind of attitude plays into the existing vortex of Kashmiri animosity towards India?
