BSF report raises security concerns in Jaisalmer

The BSF has raised its concern about increase in radical Islamic activities on Jaisalmer’s Indo-Pak border. According to the information, such activities have increased in the last few years, which could pose a threat to the security forces.

If the experts are to be believed, places of worships in the region have increased in the last few years, and a large number of hardliners have started visiting the district. According to the report, radical Islamic activities were almost negligible in the Jaisalmer border area, but now it is witnessing a huge increase. In the southern part of Jaisalmer, there were no mosques before the year 2000, but now several mosques have been built on government land.

The report based on facts also states that in the border areas of Jaisalmer, the population of the Muslim community has increased unexpectedly in the last few years, which is also a cause of concern. Talking about the incidents of espionage in the border areas of Jaisalmer, the graph of such incidents has also been continuously rising. From the cases of arrests of the detectives and providing the reports of military movements in Jaisalmer to Pak agencies, the incidents of motivating local people to espionage have also come to light.

In February 2017, the Rajasthan Police had arrested a detective named Haji Khan from Jaisalmer district. In the same month, a suspect named Sadiq was also arrested, who was accused of sending information to Pakistan. In December of 2017, another incident occurred in which BSF detained an Afghan citizen and interrogated him to get several secrets. Kabul resident Mohammad Parvez told IB during the investigation that he had come to India on a tourist visa. Also, two more Afghans came to the country with him, out of which one has already been detained.
