Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI is constantly conspiring against India from across the border and is trying to infiltrate Kashmir on a large scale. According to sources, there has been a meeting between the terrorists of Lashkar, Jaish and Al Badr in PoK, in which it has been decided that before the snowfall, more and more terrorists should be infiltrated into Kashmir.

The infiltration attempts of terrorists may increase before the snowfall in the paths adjacent to the LoC. Due to falling snow, the infiltration routes are closed for several months, so ISI wants to execute the plan soon.

As per intelligence reports, there is information about the presence of 200 to 250 terrorists on the launchpad adjacent to the LoC. After this, apart from the Army and Border Security Forces (BSF), the Intelligence Bureau (IB) is on alert and keeping a close watch.

A few months ahead of the assembly polls in five states, including Uttar Pradesh, BJP on Tuesday had a mixed bag of results in the bypolls, with severe setbacks in Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh, triggering talk of changes in the organisation and leadership of the two states, reports Akhilesh Singh.

Defeats in Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan cast a shadow on the party’s clean sweep in Assam and the northeast, an odd-defying victory in Telangana, successes in Bihar and MP and a better-than-expected performance in alliance with Dushyant Chautala in Ellenabad in Haryana.

In the middle of allegations that NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede fudged his caste certificate, a top official from the National Commission for Scheduled Castes met the officer’s family on Sunday. In an apparent clean chit, NCSC Vice President Arun Haldar said no officer will ever provide fake documents to the Commission because one can lose the job if found guilty. State minister Nawab Malik rejected Haldar’s claims, calling him a BJP man.

Speaking to media, Haldar said, “He [Wankhede] is an honest officer and has been doing his job with sincerity and integrity for the last 15 years. He has worked with IB as well. Can anyone become an IB officer by producing a fake certificate? One should first investigate why Mr Malik is targeting an officer who is doing his best to clear the drug menace in the city. He definitely has some malafide intentions.”
