Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) organised the conference of the 17 organisations fighting Indian rule in the Himalayan state under the umbrella United Jihad Council.

Referring to these people as reps of Kashmiris is an insult to them...Lets not forget the this group assassinated Mirwaiz Muhammed Farooq father of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and other pro-independence leaders.

There is no evidence Hizb was involved in the assassination, though at the time it was suspected of it because of its opposition to the 'old guard' politicians advocating independence rather than succession.

A major of the Indian Army was killed and a colonel injured in a fierce gun battle between the security forces and a group of four to six terrorists in Mendhar forest area of Poonch district in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday night. Five other soldiers were injured in the encounter that was continuing till Wednesday morning.
Two terrorists were also killed, but the bodies were yet to be recovered.

The encounter started Tuesday night when the troops of 37 Rashtriya Rifles led by Col. Ajay Katoch and Major Amit Phunge moved into Beri Rakh forests in Mendhar, 230 km northeast of Jammu, to trace the terrorists after locals reported suspected movements in the area.

The Colonel received a bullet injury in his neck, while the Major took the brunt of heavy firing from Ak-47 assault rifles by militants and died on the spot.

Army sources in Jammu said that the encounter was still on. More forces have been rushed to the spot to fight the terrorists and also to ensure that none of them are able to escape.

It is suspected from their style of fighting that they were terrorists from Lashkar-e-Toiba group, the army sources said.

Atleast now, IA should wake up to the call of better equipments, intelligence, tactics and trainings.

Now, we definitely need reforms in the way our soldiers work and handle situations.

We have been making martyrdom an excuse for our mistakes.

So, we need to change our thinking first and act fast to make reforms.

RIP brave one.

Leading from the front.. in the time honored tradition on IA. But really, the lives are just too cheap in India. Imagine what a game changer would it be if the cost of 1-2 MRCA (100 - 200 million) is diverted towards procuring better equipment for the infantry in Kashmir. I remember a line from one of the sci -fi movies I saw (starrship troopers).. "The fleet(air force) does the flying and Infantry does the dying"

Difference of opinion is an amazing thing..from our side..another encounter in IOK, another agent of opressor killed..reason for fanfare. This is what politics are all about.

Hey Indians are quiet repetitive in saying that we are sending Our Pak soldiers to FATA just to get killed by (what the Indians claim to be) our own creation and its not martyrdom t all.

Fully ignoring how (Indian sponsored close to death) terrorists are killing our own citizens through out our country and why our soldiers are fighting them for a damn good reason endorsed by the whole world.

They even bring in CIVIL WAR in all this. Punjabi army killing pakhtoons lol oh these wet dreams.

Why don't they apply this rule here....?? The world knows you are occupying the territory and the only country that agrees that Kashmir is integral partof India is India itself!

What have you guys achieved out of this? feeding 700,000 soldiers there, cost of occupation running billions and what has Kashmir contributed economically? The most backward part of India is Kashmir where common man is struggling for freedom. OK, YES THEY DO NOT WANT TO MERGE WITH PAKISTAN, there you go.

Oh yeh occupying it for water and draining Pak. I hope you guys have realized that the world would not let that happen. You may drain 50% of Pak but what makes you think that we will not attack you after this great plan and make your country go into the dark with us. We love you too much to leave you behind. We already have the tools to do so and you know it.


Your brave hearts are needed in the 7 states where the nexalites are creating havoc and chaos. That's where your citizens are being killed.

So my advise is stop killing innocents in Kashmir which results in your own innocents being killed in Mumbai. Instead go tacke the naxals.

Salute to your braveheart. I hope he is not the one involved in human right abuses and killing of youngsters at point blank range.

A TTP sympathiser may have a similar difference of opinion with you (as misguided as is yours) when one of their cadres murders a score of your sec forces and civilians in a suicide attack. For them, it would be a reason for fanfare I guess.

The sad part is that the relationship is at such a low ebb that deaths on opposite sides have become a reason for fanfare....

TTP is not fighting on a disputed territory. From our point of view, killing Indian soldiers in Kashmir is a good thing.

Anywhere else in India, I'd give that - that would be tragic. But in Kashmir it would be dishonest to say anything else.
