People's Anti-Fascist Front (PAFF) - Nightmare for Indian Army

The People's Anti-Fascist Front (PAFF) is a militant group involved in the insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir. This region is disputed, and there is an ongoing conflict between Kashmiri separatists and Indian forces. India claims that PAFF is a splinter group of Lashkar-e-Taiba. It's believed that Jaish-e-Mohammad or Lashkar-e-Taiba, both other Kashmiri separatist militant outfits, founded PAFF in 2020.

So if you are wondering what is Jaish e Mohammed and Lashkar Taiba. here is a very small relevant introduction. I did not add sensitive information because of an information breach.

Jaish-e- Mohmmad (JeM)

Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) is a Pakistan-based terrorist group that operates primarily in the Indian-administered state of Jammu and Kashmir. The group was founded in 2000 by Masood Azhar, a former member of the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, another militant organization.

JeM has been responsible for numerous high-profile attacks in the region, including the 2001 Indian Parliament attack and the 2019 Pulwama attack, which resulted in the deaths of over 40 Indian security personnel.

The group has been designated as a terrorist organization by several countries, including India, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)

Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) is a Pakistan-based terrorist organization that has been active since the 1990s. The group is believed to have links with Pakistan's intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). LeT has been responsible for numerous high-profile attacks in the region, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which resulted in the deaths of over 160 people.

India claims that the People's Anti-Fascist Front (PAFF), a militant organization active in the insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir, is an offshoot of LeT. Although there is no clear evidence of affiliation, it is believed that other Kashmiri separatist militant outfits, such as Jaish-e-Mohammad or Lashkar-e-Taiba, may have founded PAFF in 2020. PAFF operates independently,

Claims of India

On January 7th, 2023, India labelled the PAFF as a terrorist organization due to its separatist militancy against Indian forces. India claims that the group is affiliated with Jaish-e-Mohammad.

As you know well that India made wrong statements from the very first day. They always covered up their loss by blaming Pakistan and other organizations. Most terrorist attacks are from India Inside. 6, From March 2006 to date a total of 1194 attacks by Indian forces on Jammu and Kashmir and as a result 4810 civilian casualties. You can imagine the huge massacre of Kashmiris. Still, India is hosting the G20 summit to betray the world that Srinagar is a calm place.

The PAFF has claimed responsibility for several attacks against Indian forces in Jammu and Kashmir. These include.

·         The murder of BJP leader Rakesh Pandita on 3 June 2021.

·         An attack on Indian forces in Darhal, Rajouri district on Eid ul-Adha on 11 August 2021, which killed five Indian soldiers. In a video, PAFF also claimed that the G-20 summit to be held in Kashmir was their next target.

·         An attack in Poonch district on 11 October 2021, which killed nine Indian soldiers.

·         An attack on a police station in Pulwama with grenades on 25 October 2021.

·         Injuring a police officer during an encounter in Srinagar on 14 November 2021.

·         An attack which killed two policemen during an encounter at Bandipora on 10 December 2021. The claim is disputed by the United Liberation Front (ULF).

·         The "mysterious" killings of two Indian army personnel on 14 January 2022. Indian media claimed they were killed in "accidental firing."

·         An attack on an Indian patrol in Pulwama on 17 July 2022, killing one soldier.

·         The killing of J&K Director General of Prisons Hemant Lohia in his house on 3 October 2022, while Home Minister Amit Shah was visiting.

·         An attack on an Indian military vehicle in Poonch on 20 April 2023, killed five soldiers and seriously injured one.

 

Additionally, PAFF has released videos, posters, and letters, including:

·         A video congratulating Kashmiris on the occasion of the completion of one month of "Poonch operations" on 11 November 2021.

·         A poster arguing that the Indian military hides its casualties and masks them as suicides or accidents on 15 January 2022.

·         A letter threatening to attack "companies stealing our resources" at the newly discovered Lithium mines in Jammu and Kashmir on 12 February 2023.

·         Photos of an army truck ambush, which PAFF claimed were from the scene of the Poonch attack in which 5 Indian Army soldiers had been killed, 1 seriously injured, on 25 April 2023. PAFF also claimed they would release a video of the attack on social media.
