Throughout the summer this year there have been persistent reports in the media about major attempts by Pakistan to infiltrate into Kashmir, both across the Line of Control as well as Jammu’s international border. Tribal and other proxies created for this purpose (including some within India itself, like Simi and the Indian Mujahideen) are strategic assets under the direct control of the Pakistan military, acting through well established front organisations like the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed.
