JKLF was very popular till around 1995 but was destroyed by ISI itself because it advocated Independent Kashmir and not merger with Pakistan

Thanks to the rigged elections of 1987 by the Congress in J&K, Sayed Salauddin now a designated terrorist, lost due to this rigging and vowed revenge. He escaped to Pakistan and founded the Hizbul Mujahideen with the help of the ISI, which is responsible for the situation in Kashmir since 1989 along with other disgruntled leaders who formed anti-India militant groups like the JKLF etc.

Now these Congis are sending delegations at the drop of a hat, headed by yahoos like that loud mouth Mani Shankar Aiyar to meet the lame duck Hurriyat! A typical case of shutting the stables after the horses have bolted. And these Congis are creating the most noise now, blaming PM Modi for the situation in Kashmir!!

Islamic terrorists of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) parade 08 August 1991 at heart of Srinagar.
This scene reminds me of the day in 1990 when we killed Ashraf Dar who had infiltrated from POK the previous day to take over command of the Hizbul Mujahideen in Kashmir, after a long chase. Three of his bodyguards were killed in the encounter too. Four dead terrorists lying at our feet with the DSP looking on and who went white in the face after realizing that one of them was actually the dreaded Ashraf Dar himself!

There was a huge 'namaz-e-janaza' of more than two lakh people with dozens of armed terrorists attending his funeral. The Kashmir Valley was shut for a week after this. Journalists thronged the site too and the BBC correspondent took my interview at my Battalion HQ at Beerwah on the operation which was put on air on BBC Hindi News the next day!! It was big!! That was a massive blow to the HM.

(I ordered an extra peg of Rum to my Ghataks who had taken part in the op for the good work done! :biggrin2: ).

The young officer (now a brigadier) who led the Ghataks on this daring operation was awarded the Sena Medal.

Those were the days! Man, I miss them! :)

Hamid Ansari And PFI: The Iran Connection
by Aravindan Neelakandan - Nov 12, 2017, 4:26 pm


Hamid Ansari (Ajay Aggarwal/Hindustan Times via Getty Images)
  • Jihad, PFI, Hamid Ansari, and his years as India’s ambassador to Iran.
When Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave the outgoing vice-president Hamid Ansari, what was perceived mostly as a left-handed compliment, perhaps he knew what he was doing. He told Ansari that he was now free to pursue his own ‘fundamental thought process’. Ansari did exactly that and he chose to attend the conference of Popular Front of India (PFI), a radical Islamist organisation.

However, the common strands that connect the ‘fundamental thought process’ of the former vice-president and the fundamentalist organisation may be more than sharing of dais in public.


The reason why Ansari was invited to the PFI conference may go beyond the fact that he was former vice-president. He had served as Indian ambassador to Iran from 1990 to 1992. Now it has become widely known through the book Mission R & AW, written by a former high official of RAW, R K Yadav, how non-cooperative and even detrimental Ansari was to Indian intelligence operations in Iran. According to Yadav, Ansari was non-cooperative and unmoved when a RAW agent working in Tehran was abducted by Iranian intelligence. It took the efforts of Atal Behari Vajpayee, then leader of the opposition, to nudge prime minister Narasimha Rao into forcing Iran to release the abducted Indian official. However, this jeopardised Indian operations in Iran. Yadav explains:

Most of the operations of R&AW received setback after this incident since its operatives became insecure due to inaction of Ansari. R&AW operatives had penetrated inside the Qom religious centre to monitor the activities of some Kashmiri elements whose activities were detrimental to the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir but this incident made them to abort further infiltration inside that centre at that juncture.R K Yadav, Mission R&AW, Manas Publications, 2014

One of the principal militant groups in Indian Kashmir has announced a ceasefire with the Indian army. Armed militants from the group, known as the Jammu and Kashmir Ikhwan, have come out of hiding -- and now appear free to move around the province with their weapons.

Are you serious? Anyway, since you asked, he was Indian! And a bar to Sena Medal. (Meaning, two in a row if you didn't know what 'bar' means).
