K N Pandita
Externally sponsored and internally abetted armed insurgency in the Kashmir Valley and the adjoining regions of Jammu is running its 36th year.

The concept, planning and execution of armed insurgency, which employed high skills of involving the local majority population of Kashmir, overtly or covertly, into the plan of creating a multi-faceted wedge in Kashmir civil society, remains a rare negative achievement of the handlers of Kashmir militancy.
