Only one local listed terrorist remains active in Kashmir Valley, says IGP Sujit Kumar — but the threat from Pakistan-based handlers persists, with constant inputs and IEDs still being recovered.
Local operatives (with foreign terrorists) were behind recent attacks on a policeman in Anantnag and non-local labourers in Kulgam. Police identified Lateef Ahmad; posters are up across Srinagar. Reports @Ieshan_W

Meanwhile, one of the disgruntled MLAs met CM Omar Abdullah in Jammu today.
MLA Sonawari @HilalAkbarLone1 called on the Chief Minister today at Civil Secretariat, Jammu, and discussed key developmental priorities and public welfare issues concerning his constituency.
National Conference leader Salman Sagar accused Aga Ruhullah of joining forces seeking to weaken the party, alleging that his exit from the NC had fulfilled the BJP’s agenda.
“BJP succeeded in taking our people out in Jammu - Surjeet Singh Slathia and Devender Rana. Now they have managed to take Aga Ruhullah out of the National Conference. The BJP’s agenda has been fulfilled by Ruhullah,” Sagar said.
He accused him of betraying the people, saying Parliament was the biggest platform to raise public issues but that he had done little during his tenure as an MP.
“Parliament is the biggest space to address issues. There is nothing substantial that he did during his tenure, except for one. I do not hesitate to say that he has betrayed the people, including those from his own constituency,” he said.

Srinagar MP Aga Ruhullah resigns from the Lok Sabha too.
Aga Ruhullah resigns from the J&K National Conference as charged crowd raises slogans.

Ruhullah says his resignation letter will be handed over to NC president Farooq Abdullah by Mohammad Ashraf Mattoo, whose 17-year-old son, Tufail Ahmad Mattoo, was killed in 2010, when Omar Abdullah was the Chief Minister.
Ruhullah accuses Omar Abdullah of shifting his stand on Article 370, saying people had voted against the BJP expecting Chief Minister will fight for their rights.
“Your mandate was against the BJP, but you later changed the goalpost, saying those who took away Article 370 would not restore it. The Quran teaches us to speak up for our rights and trust in God. Why are you afraid of the BJP? People voted for you to fight for their rights. Have the courage to stand up and trust God instead of asking people to fear the BJP,” he said.

Supporters of Aga Ruhullah have gathered as the three-time Budgam MLA-turned-Srinagar MP is set to formally announce his resignation from the Lok Sabha and JKNC at a public gathering in the district.
He has accused his party leadership of abandoning its electoral promises on Article 370, political prisoners, and the rights of people in Jammu and Kashmir.

Kashmir’s First Public-Facing RSS-Affiliated Office: Inside Sangh's Outreach Through A Muslim Leader
@Ieshan_W
Right opposite a hillock in the Barsoo area of Pulwama, an unusual office has come up. Inside the small yet modern office are several national flags and books. As you begin scanning the titles, you come across two books on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) by its ideologue and author Ratan Sharda. There are other books too, including The Constitution of India by BR Ambedkar and Win Every Argument by Mehdi Hasan. What also catches your eye are the works of Shakespeare, the Bhagavad Gita and Audrey Truschke’s historical reassessment of the sixth Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb Alamgir.
