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.
