The warning, which is the form of an audio clip reportedly from TRF commander Ahmad Salaar and titled as an emergency message to Kashmiris, says that blasting the houses of “revolutionaries” (referring to terrorists), shows the frustration of J&K Police, and that is why they are arresting “innocent people” and branding them as terrorists.
In the past few days, houses of several suspected terrorists have been blasted across J&K by authorities, a step which is being seen as a retaliation by the police against the Pahalgam terror attack.
Earlier, on April 26, the TRF in a statement had backtracked from taking responsibility for the Pahalgam terror attack after initially doing so.
“The Resistance Front (TRF) unequivocally denies any involvement in the Pahalgam incident. Any attribution of this act to TRF is false, hasty and part of an orchestrated campaign to malign the Kashmiri resistance. Shortly after the attack in Pahalgam, a brief and unauthorised message was posted from one of our digital platforms.”
The terror outfit had went on to claim that its website had been hacked by Indian cyber intelligence operatives.
As many as 26 persons had been killed in Pahalgam’s Baisaran meadow after terrorists, whose number is uncertain, had fired upon a large group of picnickers and visitors on April 22.
