Pakistan despite all criticism is hell bent upon encouraging terrorism inside Kashmir. This attack depicts Islamabad's desperate attempt to ensure that the current turmoil in the valley is not over, said Defense expert Brigadier (Retd.) Anil Gupta.
Defense expert Brigadier (Retd.) Anil Gupta on Sunday said that Pakistan despite all criticism is hell bent upon encouraging terrorism inside Kashmir, adding the attack on 12th brigade headquarters at Uri in Baramulla by the fidayeens clearly depicts Islamabad's desperate attempt to ensure that the current turmoil in the valley is not over.
Brigadier (Retd.) Gupta also wondered as to how the terrorists managed to infiltrate despite the high alert and counter infiltration grid being strengthened by the Army.
"The fidayeens have been able to enter the army camp, which is not good. But, however, the details are not yet available. I am not going to comment as to how it has happened. But one thing is very sure that Pakistan has not changed its mind," Brigadier (Retd.) Gupta said.

"Despite all problems which Pakistan is having and all the criticism it is facing from the world, it is hell bent upon encouraging terrorism inside Kashmir. And this latest act of the fidayeens is the desperate attempt by Pakistan to ensure that the current turmoil in Kashmir does not end and security forces are tied down in the respective camps," he added while asserting that Pakistan is making desperate attempts to ensure that this turmoil in Kashmir continues.
Meanwhile, another defence expert Major General (Retd.) P.K. Sehgal on his part expressed hope that the terrorists would be liquidated within few hours.

"There has been definitely a fore power and some casualness in some security elements somewhere, which has been taken advantage of by the fidayeens," Major General (Retd.) Sehgal said.
"I wish one of them is caught alive so that we get to know the modus operandi from where exactly they came," he added.
The Indian Army has gunned down all four terrorists, who had attacked the Army Brigade's headquarters in Uri this morning. At least 17 soldiers have been killed in the gun battle at the base, which is around 100 km from state capital Srinagar.
Combing operations are currently underway to ensure no untoward element still persists in the Army perimeters.
