Mumbai: The situation has become tense in the Kurla area of ​​Mumbai after a Hindu Sakal Samaj volunteer was attacked along with BMC staff last night. The Kurla police have registered a case on the complaint of the victim. The police have also taken two people into custody in this case. The police said that at 7:41 pm last night, BMC was conducting an operation in Akash Gali, Kurla and this volunteer had complained about the illegal street vendor, after which he was attacked. At present, the situation is peaceful but tension remains.

A joint operation by BMC and police against street vendors is underway in Kurla. In such a situation, an attempt has also been made to give a Hindu-Muslim color to the clash between Hindu Sakal Samaj and street vendors, while the police have denied it. Today, BJP leader Kirat Soumya visited the victim Akshay at Bhabha Hospital and not only this, she has also questioned the action taken in this matter. She has expressed dissatisfaction with the police action and demanded stricter action.

Krit Soumya, while showing his anger, demanded action against Muslim Bangladeshi street vendors. Not only that, he said that due to the collusion and collusion of the police and BMC at Kurla station, action against the street vendors and street vendors is being delayed. This is the reason why the hooliganism of the hawkers has increased here. Just a month ago, street vendors attacked the youth together. He sustained head injuries. Along with this, BMC officers and officials in Bhandup and officials in Lokhandwala have also been attacked. He has made a serious allegation that such incidents have increased in Mumbai due to Muslim Bangladeshi street vendors, therefore strict action should be taken against Muslim Bangladeshi street vendors. He said that his campaign against Bangladeshis and street vendors will continue.

Kreet Soumya said that Akshay was going towards Kurla station with his sister when he suddenly got into trouble with the mob and was then tortured. After this incident in Kurla, the police have issued an alert and strict security arrangements have been made in Akash Gali. Senior Inspector Vikas Mehmkar of Kurla Police Station said that after the incident of beating in Akash Gali, the police have taken action and the situation is peaceful and security has been tightened. After this incident, the police have become alert while the situation is peaceful after the tension.

Mumbai: The attack on Muslim youths by two to one hundred armed assailants during Iftar in Pune’s Lab Lake is extremely worrying. Expressing dissatisfaction with the police action after this attack, MLA Abu Asim Azmi has strongly demanded in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly that strict action be taken against the culprits and a case of attempt to murder be registered against them because these Muslim youths were attacked with weapons.

Despite this, the police have registered a case under minor sections, which is completely wrong. Today, the situation has become very bad. If someone offers prayers outside, they are attacked. In the past, Hindu women used to stand outside the mosque with their children to get the prayer person to pray for their children and they used to blow on the child’s head, but now there is an uproar when prayers are offered, and along with that, violence is also done.

He said that it is claimed that the functioning of the state will be carried out on the principles of Shivaji Maharaj, but today the situation is such that a knife case has been registered against Ram in the mouth. He said that this hooliganism should stop and I am here in the assembly and when it is time for prayer, where will I pray? Similarly, if someone is in the field, he prays there. He should be allowed to pray wherever he is. But today the situation has deteriorated to such an extent that objections are being raised against the worship of Muslims, which is completely wrong and strict action should be taken against it. And strict action should be taken against anyone who spoils the environment.

Post Operation Sindoor, the biggest headache for Pakistan has been recruitments. Prior to the operation carried out by the Indian armed forces that took down terror infrastructure, recruitments into groups such as the Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Tayiba were free flowing.

An Intelligence assessment says that recruitments have fallen by nearly 30 to 40 per cent. This has led to the ISI changing its strategy wherein, the recruitments are more driven by money rather than ideology.

This strategy remains the same when it comes to recruiting for Islamic groups such as the Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Tayiba, the espionage network and also the Khalistan terror groups, an official said.

The ISI realised that ideology is not exactly a driving force any longer. The damage that Operation Sindoor has done to the morale of terror groups has automatically led to the recruitment drives falling sharply.

The ISI has, however, managed to find some success when it comes to drawing youth by luring them with money. What is interesting, the ISI is ready to recruit the youth irrespective of their religion, faith or caste.

The ISI’s handlers have been scouting for youth in large numbers and has been offering them huge sums of money.

The ISI is ready to spend anything in the range of Rs 10,000 to Rs 200,000 depending on the role that has been assigned to the one who is being recruited.

An Intelligence Bureau official said that the lure of money has been working to some extent for the ISI.

The target audience are students and those who are in need of money. However, an interesting aspect that has cropped up during the multiple investigations that are being carried out is that the ISI has managed to tap more into those who want to lead a high-profile lifestyle.

The traction for this strategy has caught on more for those wanting to better their lifestyle rather than those who are in need of money.

An Intelligence Bureau official says that the ISI has instructed its handlers and recruiters not to bother about the religion of the people they are recruiting. This means that a module or a network would have people from various faiths.

This ensures that these modules come lesser under the radar, the official added.

The ISI implemented the money over ideology strategy first for the Khalistan terror networks. It realised that the movement is not getting enough traction.

The ISI has been trying to exploit the drug problem that is rampant in Punjab. It is reaching out to the youth and offering large sums of money, so that they can pay to buy the drugs that flow into Punjab.

The Intelligence agencies warn that this recruitment drive is only going to get bigger. The target audience is huge and the ISI is recruiting people from all faiths to run the espionage network and also to provide logistic support to terror groups.

There is a particular concern at the border areas, where Pakistani elements are trying to dig out as much information as possible on the movement of troops and military installations.

In the major cities the recruitment drive is more focussed on roping in youth to provide logistic support for the terror groups. These youth are paid money to shoot videos of government offices, the buildings that house the judiciary, police stations, railway stations among others.

Another official said that in a nutshell, if one looks at the pattern, the ISI is clearly not aiming for an immediate strike.

It is biding time trying to build a pan-India network and also gather as much data as possible.

Currently the Pakistanis are busy with their war against the Afghan Taliban, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).

The Pakistan Army is getting assistance from terror groups such as the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP), Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Tayiba.

The strategy that the ISI has adopted for recruitments will not only revive the agency, but also all the other terror groups.

The ISI is hoping that by the time these groups revive, it would have a minefield of information and an army of recruits in India.

The Intelligence agencies have also advised the police to keep a close tab on influencers.

The Indian agencies had busted a huge network of spies, which comprised influencers with a large following.

The ISI would look to target them once again and then try and win a narrative battle against India, Intelligence Bureau officials say.
