Indian forces scared: analyst

ISLAMABAD: The new strategy of the Mujahideen to attack camps of Indian occupational forces have put them on defensive posture in Indian Held Kashmir.

A renowned Indian defence analyst Rahul Bedi in an interview with BBC said, there are suicide squads among the Mujahideen which engage the forces for hours.

These squads consist of two or three and at best four men. They pin down the entire force and fight valiantly against them and then they embrace death. As a result the security forces have got considerably frightened. They feel that they don't have any remedy for this.

Bedi said, now a days the problems in Kashmir appear considerably direction-less. No directive comes from New Delhi as how to deal with this situation. Besides, the army has somewhat got confused. This second of third phase of movement has created a confusion in the security forces. The intelligence is also unable to detect where the Mujahideen are. In such a situation the security forces do commit human rights violations in frustration. APP
