LeT commander Talib Hussain is the mastermind behind the recent IED blasts in the Reasi district, along with his associate Faizal Ahmad Dar.  Shah and Dar were in possession of two AK Assault rifles, seven grenades, a pistol, and a huge quantity of ammunition when they were confronted by Kashmiri Muslim villagers and disarmed before handing them over to police after tying them with ropes inside a dhok (mud-house) in the higher reaches of Gulab Garh.

The other arrested militant hails from south Kashmir’s Pulwama district, the police said. Two AK rifles, seven grenades, one pistol, and a massive quantity of ammunition were recovered from their possession.

Congress Slams BJP For Alleged Terrorist Links

The opposition Congress slammed the BJP government saying the BJP man was mulling attacking the Amarnath Yatra. “Talib Hussain, the mastermind behind the plan to carry out attacks against the Amarnath turned out to be a BJP man. He was recently appointed in charge of the IT cell Minority Morcha. Why are the patriotic journalists silent?”

Congress General Secretary (Communications) Jairam Ramesh sharing a photo of the terrorist with the BJP tweeted, “BJP’s patriotism is visible in the photo. BJP’s alliance with terrorists are in front of everybody.” इस फ़ोटो में भाजपा की राष्ट्र्भक्ति की असलियत दिख रही है। भाजपा का आतंकियों के साथ गठबंधन सब के सामने है। pic.twitter.com/FUrS28qvHz — Jairam Ramesh (@Jairam_Ramesh) July 3, 2022

Jammu and Kashmir BJP chief Ravinder Raina dismissed the presence of Shah in his party as a “conspiracy hatched by Pakistan to target him and the party headquarters”. This is the second incident within two days where it has been alleged that the terror accused had links with the BJP.

The two people arrested in Udaipur also were shown to have links with the saffron party with photographic evidence. Congress leader Pawan Khera on Saturday had cited Facebook posts showing accused Riyaz Akhtari with local BJP leaders and sought to know whether the Centre had moved quickly to transfer the case to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) due to this reason.

The charge was denied by the BJP’s IT cell chief Amit Malviya saying the accused were not BJP members and said the opposition party was peddling in fake news.
