NIA raids continue across several locations in Jammu and Kashmir, separate case in Tamil Nadu
2023-05-09
The police are keeping busy on their various jihadi hunts.
[OneIndia] The National Investigation Agency is continuing with its raids across several locations 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....
The raids pertain to the criminal conspiracy hatched by terror groups operation under various pseudo-names, at the behest of Pakistain's ISI. The raids are taking place in Anantnag, Srinagar, Poonch, Rajouri, Kupwara and Kishtwar.

The raids also are taking place in the backdrop of the Rajouri and Poonch attacks by the Lashkar-e-Tayiba in which 10 Army jawans bit the dust.

Earlier this month the NIA conducted raids in Jammu and Kashmir in a case related to the separatist and secessionist activities of the banned Jamaat-e-Islami
...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores...
(JeI).

The JeI has been carrying out terror funding activities in Jammu and Kashmir even after it was declared an unlawful association. The NIA carried out searches at the premises of the JeI at 16 locations, including 11 in District Baramulla in Kashmir valley and the remaining 5 located in District Kishtwar in Jammu region. Several incriminating materials and digital devices were seized during the searches and were being examined for more clues in the case.

NIA investigations so far have revealed that JeI (J&K) members had been collecting funds domestically and from abroad through donations, particularly in the form of zakat, mowda and bait-ul-mal, as well as for purported charitable purposes, such as promotion of education and health. The funds were, instead, being used for violent mostly peaceful and secessionist activities in J&K. They were also being channelled to proscribed terrorist organizations, such as Hizb- ul-Mujahideen (HM), Lashkar-e-Taiba
...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
(LeT) and others through well organised networks of JeI cadres, an NIA note said.

Further, as per the investigations, JeI was also engaged in motivating impressionable youth of Kashmir and recruiting new members (Rukuns) in J&K for carrying out violent mostly peaceful, disruptive and secessionist activities.

Previous investigations by the NIA had revealed that one of the four arrested accused, identified as Javaid Ahmad Lone, had been soliciting funds and organising meetings in the name of JeI, J&K. He had been delivering hateful anti-India speeches and exhorting people to make donations at these meetings. Along with Aadil Ahmad Lone, he had also acquired firearms and ammunition with ulterior motives from the other two accused, identified as Manzoor Ahmad Dar and Rameez Ahmad Kondu, the NIA note also read.

NIA raids multiple locations in J&K, Tamil Nadu in separate cases

[GreaterKashmir] The National Investigation Agency (NIA) was on Tuesday conducting raids in Jammu & Kashmir and Tamil Nadu in separate cases, sources said.

A source said that in Tamil Nadu the NIA was raiding ten locations belonging to the banned
...the word banned seems to have a different meaning in Pakistain than it does in most other places. Or maybe it simply lacks any meaning at all...
organization
Popular Front of India (PFI).
…the latest identity of Pakistan sock puppet National Development Front (NDF) and the thrice-banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), whose goal was to conquer India to make their very own caliphate. They’re fond of IEDs, swords, Al Qaeda and Taliban propaganda, the perverse pleasures of Love Jihad, and have surprisingly well-trained connections with jihadis in Bangladesh and Pakistan...
The Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI)
... the political wing of the banned Islamic organization Popular Front of India (PFI)...
premises were also being raided.The NIA teams were examining a number of incriminating documents.

In Jammu and Kashmir, the raids were going on at multiple locations in a terror funding case. As of now the NIA has not officially commented anything on the raids.
