...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....

A front man of SIA Kashmir in a statement issued here said that the SIA Kashmir produced a chargesheet against the three accused for raising and circulating funds to further terrorist designs in J&K.

"During investigation of case FIR No 22/2022 of Police Station SIA/CIK Kashmir, SIA Kashmir chapter traced the foundations and nodes of terrorist folds which had been hatching innovative conspiracies to keep the pot of terrorism boiling in J&K by raising and circulating funds," he said. "The investigation team touched the nerves of the nefarious elements involved in various overt and covert acts of propaganda and criminal proliferation at the international level to overawe the government machinery and harm the unity, illusory sovereignty, integrity and security of India."

The SIA Kashmir front man said that among the accused was Bashir Ahmad Mir alias Moulvi Bashir Irfani, son of late Muhammad Rehamtullah Mir of Nathpora, Bandipora, presently at Alochi Bagh, Srinagar.

"Mir is a hardcore propagandist and conspirator and was the General Secretary of Hurriyat Conference (G)
...an alliance of 30+ Moslem political, social and religious organizations formed on 9 March 1993 as a united political front to raise the cause of Moslem Kashmiri separatism that from founding has looked to Pakistan’s ISI for support.

and chairman of Shabba-ul-Muslameen, who had been found receiving and holding proceeds of terrorism in the shape of hefty amounts of currency, which had been recovered from his possession," he said. "The accused entered into a common criminal design along with two other absconding accused individuals to rejuvenate terrorism in J&K and disturb the peaceful environment. The trio has been found involved in incentivising prospective members to spread the tentacles of criminal plots in various districts of J&K to broaden the membership grid. The two absconding accused persons have been found hobnobbing with the ISI of Pakistain for having the patronage and logical support in carrying out terrorist activities in J&K. Besides raising funds they have been found instrumental in knitting anti-India propaganda outside India besides promoting disaffection among the peaceful public, particularly impressionable youth. The chargesheet has been produced in the Court of Special Judge, NIA Court Srinagar under the provisions of Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, 1967, as amended on May 3, 2023."

The SIA Kashmir front man said that the investigation of the case had been completed within six months.
