Tail. Pakistan-linked terrorist group People’s Anti-Fascist Front (PAFF) has taken responsibility for the terrorist attack on an Air Force convoy in Poonch, Jammu and Kashmir. This terrorist organization has claimed to carry out more such attacks in the next 20 days.
According to intelligence sources, the role of this attack was made four days ago when the Pakistan Army Chief, while speaking at the function of Pakistan Air Service, announced all support to the people of Kashmir. Immediately after this, pressure was put on terrorist groups from Pakistan to commit some major crime. According to intelligence sources, the purpose of this attack is to create disruption in the Lok Sabha elections to be held in Srinagar, Anantnag, Baramulla and to scare the voters, so that they do not come out to vote.
Who is this terrorist organization?
People’s Anti-Fascist Front or PAFF is a changed form of Pakistan-based terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed. PAFF’s name has come up in many incidents that took place after the removal of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir. This terrorist group has described itself as inspired by the slain commander of Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, Zakir Musa, who is considered loyal to the global terrorist group Al Qaeda.
