ISI forcing J&K Gujjars into militancy: Eshfaq-ur Rehman Posawal

The Gujjar community is facing a serious threat from Pakistan’s ISI and its sponsored terrorists. Gujjar leader from J&K and BJP contestant from Karnah in state assembly election in 2014, Eshfaq-ur Rehman Posawal, who is in Kota these days, said conditions are being created in J&K to force Gujjars to join militancy and added that this threat has been further intensified after the recent release of Hafiz Saeed.

“It is unfortunate the in last two years since 1947, the militant weapons have been recovered from the people of Gujjar community in J&K and it is the sign of forced conversion into militancy, Poswal said.

He has been garnering support from Gujjar community from across the country to counter the threat and to give a suitable reply, he said and added he held interaction with Gujjar leaders in Jhalawar on Sunday and held a meeting with BJP MLA from Kota North Phralad Gunjal. Poswal said to counter the threat and to seek support from the Gujjar community of other states, he is set to organise anti-terrorist conference in Kota next month. Poswal said he held a meeting with army  chief Lt General Bipin Rawat last month and requested him to set up up a Gujjar regiment to take on the Pak sponsored terrorism along the Line of Control (LoC).

Poswal further said BJP MLA from Kota North and Gujjar leader Prahlad Gunjal has assured him to extend all kind of support to Gujjars in J&K.
