Have the Haqqanis entered J&K: What the killing of 2 Pashto speaking terrorists tells us
2022-04-29
[OneIndia] The presence of Pashtun gunnies 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....
(K&K) is a worrying sign. Two Pashto speaking foreign bad boyz were potted in an encounter in Jammu and Kashmir earlier this month and this has led the agencies to suspect the hand of the dreaded Haqqani Network.

The Haqqani Network mainly operates in eastern Afghanistan and North-Western Pakistain and is closely associated with the ISI. Following the encounter in Sunjuwan, ADGP Mukesh Singh said that an arrested aide of one of the terrorist, Shafiq Ahmed who had kept them at their house had informed the police that both spoke Pashto.

#2   if they learn pashto and train in Quetta for a few months.

With that kind of resumé, surely they don’t speak it as well as you, and with a more noticeably foreign accent... My mother tells of the Nazis arriving a few years after she followed her parents into Holland, and of the shibboleth tongue twister she and the local children could say that Germans simply could not pronounce.

#1  There are several pashtuns in the LeT itself. But equipment from the Taliban has been noticed in gunny hands of late. NVGs, PK guns, explosive charges bought from their Taliban cousins. Pakis from AJK like to believe they're pashtuns sometimes, if they learn pashto and train in Quetta for a few months.
