Dear Editor,
Indeed, the killing of Lashkar-e-Tayyeba (LeT) militant Abu Dujana is one of the biggest achievement of our security forces this year. Dujana was not only involved in many terrorists attacks but was also instrumental in luring Kashmiri youths towards terrorism. After the encounter of Bashir Lashkari, Junaid Mattoo, this development must have surely come as a severe blow to the LeT.
Meanwhile, it is commendable that the army has blocked Internet services in Jammu and Kashmir to avoid mass gathering and protests. What is also praiseworthy is that our intelligence establishment is not only helping eliminate these dreaded terrorists but they have also been choking their support system so that they do not create further complication. Now, with the thinning population of trained terrorists among the LeT, one thing is sure: That the terror group will try and find a suitable replacement for Abu Dujana soon. India must be vigilant. Chances are high that the LeT will plan a terror attack to keep our intelligence agencies and the army on their toes. Last but not the least, recent development in Pakistan should make us wary as now the army over there, like Nawaz Sharif’s successor, will toe the line and there may be a rise in cross-border violence in the Valley in the near future.
