 India has deployed a large number of its troops along the Line of Control (LoC) and its border with Pakistan besides fencing thousands of kilometers to forestall alleged infiltration of militants into Held Kashmir. Do you think infiltration can take place despite this preparedness?

Infiltration is possible since the Indian troops do not patrol the whole border.

No matter what Pakistan says to deny infiltration; it is a well-documented
fact that training camps are active and churning out mujahideen for occupied Kashmir. Taking them into Indian side may not be a big problem despite the Indian and Pak army maintain their vigilance.

My point is that more or less 700,000 troops on both sides cannot stop infiltration due to the geographical nature of the terrain. What we are talking about highest.

India has deployed millions of his troops along the Line of Control (LOC) and its border with Pakistan. They still are blaming that militants from Pakistan side are involved in the terror attacks in India. Therefore, despite millions of troops and tight border security how can it be possible that militants from Pakistan can cross the Line of Control (LOC) and trigger any attack against India.

If infiltrators are trained to be terrorists, they neither come in broad daylight openly nor ask for permission to get inside the boarder line.  They are like snakes, rodents and lizards who sneak in darkness.  No matter how many people you have on the border, determined terrorists can get in particularly when they want to come through the back door, dig in and attack from behind like predators.

It is difficult to confirm or deny whether infiltration is still will be taking place from Pakistan side or not. However, India asking Pakistan to control it is tantamount to that of Pakistan asking Afghanistan or US and their allied troops to keep Al-qaeda fighters within Afghanistan.

There is not any possible infiltration from Pakistani side into the territory of occupied Kashmir.

There is no infiltration going on along the LOC. Indians are full of crap!

If Indians claim that there is infiltration from Pakistan side, that means Indian army is extremely incapable because.

Yes infiltration can certainly happen and is happening across the LOC

As long as India does not give the Kashmiri people their legitimate right of free plebiscite, this war of independence will continue and will never end. If they build a wall along the LoC, the freedom fighters will climb over it to achieve their justified goal. Infiltration is indispensable.

Infiltration cannot be eliminated by merely fencing the borders.

The question is not whether infiltration is possible or not, one should understand that India is seeking way out from its military stand of at LoC with Pakistan and has successfully been able to get the world on its side to press Pakistan government to
state that it will curb militancy more seriously in J&K. This will help Indian government to save its face and backing off from its naming and blaming policy.

Infiltration can still take place. The border is long. it is easy to infiltrate. It is easy to push terrorists into India’s is doing it extremely well but it is dangerous, as the Indians are not deterred by Pakistan nuclear power.

The present confrontation between India and Pakistan started in December 2001 after the attack on the Indian Parliament by unknown people. Later, India started to deploy its troops all along the borders of Pakistan. And, to face any mishap Pakistan also mustered its troops on the Indian borders.

Pakistani President, General Pervez Musharraf, has categorically denied any infiltration of the militants into held Kashmir. But, it seems to be that whatsoever is happening in India whether it is in Gujarat or in held Kashmir, India always put responsibility on Pakistan without any proper and impartial investigations. 

As a matter of fact, it seems that there is a third invisible force, who is taking advantage of the present heightened confrontation between India and Pakistan. If we go and study in depth we will find that attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon were made by some, yet unidentified, terrorists on September 11, 2001. The government of United States of America staged a war against terrorism and invaded Afghanistan against Taliban regime and Osama Bin Ladin including the members of Al-Qaeda network in the month of October 2001 and at the same time Government of Pakistan extended its support to USA in the fight against terrorism.

The infiltration of militants by the Government of Pakistan is absolutely not possible since India has completely sealed its borders. Pakistan has never wanted to harm its neighbour-India in any way. The question of the Indian Government to stop "cross border terrorism" is a useless question to Pakistan as Pakistan itself is fighting against the terrorism forces within and outside the country. 

India should try to find out who the real infiltrators are and from where they are actually coming? It can be none except the members of Al-Qaeda movement who after their defeat in Afghanistan would like to see a war between two neighbouring countries-India and Pakistan. 

The Indian government, hence, instead of wasting its time with blaming Pakistan for any carnage or mishap against her (India) should make viably appropriate arrangements at its borders to stop infiltration and behind this the involvement of Al-Qaeda men, who may be responsible in cross border terrorism, can not be ruled out.

There can be no infiltration from Pakistani side.

India has deployed millions of his troops along the Line of Control (LOC) and its border with Pakistan. They still are blaming that militants from Pakistan side are involved in the terror attacks, which recently happened in the occupied Kashmir. In the presence of millions of troops and tight border security how can it possible that militants from Pakistan can cross the Line of Control (LOC) and trigger any attack against India.

If 1,000,000 strong Indian army is unable to stop infiltration of Mujahideen from Pakistan into India then that is the problem with India. India must punish it's soldiers for being so clumsy.

Infiltration across the border to support extremism in occupied Kashmir is an indirect method of put pressure on India chosen by Pakistan. Now, in the view of latest developments the situation has turned in India's favour to put pressure on Pakistan to stop infiltration. The cessation of infiltration is possible only if Pakistan decides to do so. No amount of troops on Indian side can stop it. It is the very root cause of the conflict, which needs to be resolved as war is no solution.

The two countries should develop economic ties and strive for welfare of the people of either country. This will create a wonderful future for both countries.

Before propagating negative publicity about India world wide, Pakistan
should consider these facts; Pakistan is beginning to look foolish.

Isn’t it amazing that on other side of line of control Indians have amassed more than 300,000 troops if Pakistan is failing to control infiltration across loc, why cant this so called  candidate for next super power control it from its side.

There is no way in the  world to stop freedom fighters from going into Indian Territory until Indian surrender the entire territory of occupied Kashmir they are unjustifiably continuing to occupy.

I hope we solve the Kashmir Issue peacefully.

I think infiltration of militants can not take place as millions of troops
have been deployed across the line of control.

Azmat Shah

I do not believe there can be any infiltration into held Kashmir.

Waqar Baig

It is simply not possible that infiltration of militants can take place. For, India has mustered more than 70’0 000 soldiers on its border along with Pakistan laced with armed weapons. It is a highly volatile area. One can conclude that the Indian Army and Border Police are not professional enough to stop the infiltration.

No infiltration is possible as there is a large number of Indian forces at the border with Pakistan.

All opinions expressed are that of the individual and do not represent the
views of this company, unless explicitly specified.

I don't think so that there can be any infiltration of militants from Pakistani side as around 750,000 Indian troops are mustered at LoC. This is all Indian government’s propaganda due to the jealousy after the economical growth of Pakistan, policy against the Afghanistan & war on terror.

infiltration is still talking place. Score of millitants cross over the LOC daily..... and will continue to do so unless India gets what it wants.

How is it possible that infiltration can take place any more whereas a large number of Indian Army is deployed.

The US seems to want a conflict between India and Pakistan so that both these countries destroy each other and the US can then give its pretentious helping hand. A strong India and Pakistan is not in the interest of any other developed countries as it will threaten their supremacy and hegemony poor and underdeveloped as well as developing.

They sense that with the terrific capacity of India in the field of IT if it is allowed to grow it any more that it can also become a super power, who are really friends in disguise.

Thus, together India and Pakistan can challenge any other country in the world.

There are about thousands of Pakistani troops along Pakistan side of LoC and about 7 million Indian troops along Indian side of LOC. If 7 million Indian troops can not stop infiltration (as what they say), how can few thousands Pakistani troops stop any foreseeable infiltration?

Omer Farooq


one can't stop infiltration from taking place, no matter how effective and protective the entry points are. Look at suicide bombers in Israel. Having the best security systems on earth, the bombers still go through. Infiltration or uprising shall continue there as long as aggressive forces of India are there. These forces are committing the worst kind of genocide and the whole world is just watching. What a shame!

Government of Pakistan has very bravely stopped all Jihadi groups from operating inside Pakistan so that any predictable terrorist acts are foiled or nipped into bud. This is a mission impossible, which has been accomplished. Still no credit from any side for such a greatly laudable steps taken by the present Pakistani government.
