Border tensions: China in talks with Pak terror groups, Pakistani soldiers deployed in Ladakh
Amid India and China border tensions, both countries are engaging in talks to de-escalate the tension in Ladakh region, another report claimed that Pakistani troop has started moving along the Gilgit-Baltistan area.
According to a report in India Today, the Chinese army is also holding talks with Pak terror organization, Al Badr to incite violence in Jammu and Kashmir.
Reports also claimed that Pak has deployed its 20,000 additional soldiers in the northern Ladakh region in a bid to support China.
There is a possibility that amid India and China border tensions, Pakistan is looking to grab the opportunity to attack India along with the dragon country, sources said.
Meanwhile, the Indian Army and intelligence officials are having a series of meetings over the looming situation.
Media reports also claimed that China has egged ISI to deploy its battle-hardened terrorists and even planning BAT operations in India.
India Today report also alleged that the groups are also discussing ‘internal sabotage’ with the nearly 100 Pakistani terrorists inside Kashmir.
Pakistani terrorists are likely to do internal sabotage in India by attacking Indian Army troops in Jammu and Kashmir.
However, Indian security forces had recently killed over 120 terrorists in Kashmir, most of them are locals with only a handful of foreign terrorists.
On Tuesday, Indian and Chinese militaries held an over 10-hour Corps Commander-level dialogue for the disengagement of troops from the eastern Ladakh, and also discussed on how to minimize the tension in the region.
Earlier this month, Jammu and Kashmir DG Dilbag Singh also said that there were signs that Al Badr could revive itself for operations. These signs of collaboration have raised the concern as tensions continue on LAC.
According to ET reports, the Indian Army has been vigilant and keeping their eyes on airbases in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) after a Chinese refueller aircraft landed in Skardu earlier this week.
China has also increased its air activity opposite eastern Ladakh, raising the possibility of PLA Air Force (PLAAF) using airbases in Gilgit-Baltistan.
According to reports, limited activities have been observed at the Skardu airbase where an IL 78 tanker of the Chinese air force landed earlier this month.
