New Delhi, May 20: Islamabad's reported move to impose "restrictions" on Pakistan-based terrorist outfit Hizbul Mujahideen today failed to enthuse the security forces involved in counter-terrorism operations. "Pakistan is clever to ban a dying organisation," BSF director general Ajai Raj Sharma said at a press conference here when referred to the development.
Hizbul Mujahideen is "already losing out in battle in the state and over the last few months several developments have taken place indicating that it is cracking up," he said.
Sharma said Lashker-e-Toiba had lately emerged as the main terrorist organisation and said that instead of HM, Pakistan should have restrained it.
Pakistan today announced that it had imposed restrictions on Hizbul Mujahideen.
Asserting that foreigners were now dominating the terrorist cadres, he said such elements constituted between 60 to 70 per cent of terrorists operating in Jammu and Kashmir.
He said around 3000 terrorists were reportedly active in the state at present and several more groups were waiting to infiltrate into India. Bureau Report
