ISI formed this new terror group
Last year, the Intelligence Bureau revealed that Pakistan’s notorious intelligence agency ISI has formed a new terrorist group and named it Lashkar-e-Khalsa. The IB report said that Lashkar-e-Khalsa is very active on social media and is recruiting youths.
Lashkar-e-Khalsa wants to create unrest in India. For this, youth are constantly recruited. The report also said that the organization is trying to connect people through new Facebook IDs to plan terror activities. Pakistan intelligence officer Amar Khalistani is managing several Facebook pages called ‘Azad Khalistan’.
Afghan terrorists are giving training to Lashkar-e-Khalsa terrorists
Lashkar-e-Khalsa has recruited a large number of Afghan nationals to increase terrorist activities in Jammu and Kashmir. It is also being said that Pakistan and Afghanistan are training people who have recently been recruited by this terrorist organization to operate weapons.
Afghan terrorists who are training have experience in using all modern weapons, including rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs). It is also being said that efforts are being made to involve local gangsters from Punjab and Haryana. For this, they are being lured to earn through drugs.
