The letter has sent political temperatures soaring with the RashtriyaSwayamsevakSangh (RSS) terming it as a "direct attack on Indian secularism and democracy".

New Delhi: The threat of terrorist attacks on the Army camps is looming large despite unilateral initiative taken by the Government of India which announced ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmir in view of the Holy month of Ramzan for Muslims.

As per intelligence sources, there is a possibility of an attack on camps of security forces in Anant Nag and Shopian. Intelligence agencies have information that a group of three terrorists might attack bases of the security forces in these two areas. Therefore, despite the announcement of a ceasefire in the state, security forces in Anant Nag and Shopian are on high alert.

As per intelligence sources, terrorists don't want this ceasefire to succeed therefore they are trying every bit to disturb the peace in the region. They want to create such an environment that messages travels all across that ceasefire is not a solution to the problem and it is also not a right step in the same direction.

The CJI has been at the receiving end of Congress’s veiled as well as not-so-veiled attacks since January 12 when four seniormost judges of the Supreme Court, in an extraordinary step, chose to criticise the head of the judiciary.
