Terrorists kill BJP leader in Pulwama, J&K
[OneIndia] Militants rubbed out a BJP councillor in Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
on Wednesday night when he was visiting his friend's house in the Tral area of Pulwama district, officials said here.

A group of three snuffies opened indiscriminate fire at BJP leader Rakesh Pandita around 10.15 pm, a police spokesperson said, adding that his friend's daughter also suffered injuries and was hospitalised in a critical condition..

According to the police spokesperson, Pandita was a "protected person" and had been provided with two Personal Security Officers (PSOs) and a secured accommodation in Srinagar.

At the time of the incident, Pandita was without any PSO as he defied the standard operating procedure (SoP) and went to his native village in the south Kashmir district without his security.

Police have started the paperwork but haven't done much else and investigation is in progress. Officers continue to work to establish the full circumstances of this terror crime, besides why he was without any security at the time of the incident, the front man said.

The area has been cordoned off and a search is going on to nab the attackers, he added.

Five BJP leaders were killed last year in a spate of assassinations. After this, there was a review of the security arrangement and most of them had been provided with secured accommodation in Srinagar, the summer capital of the union territory.

As targeted killing of BJP leaders in J&K continue, Lashkar front claims responsibility for latest attack

[OneIndia] A front of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba has grabbed credit for the killing of a BJP councillor in Jammu and Kashmir.

The front of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba which calls itself People's Anti Fascist Front grabbed credit for the killing of Rakesh Pandita when he was visiting his friend's house in the Tral area of Pulwama district, officials said here. The front said that Pandita was involved in creating a network of informers.

If the Hindus believe that their evil designs can take roots in Kashmir, then it is delusional of a great magnitude. We have an eye on every activity and will deal with them appropriately, the release signed by the spokesperson of the front, Tanveer Ahmad Rather said.
