Activist Qureshi raises concern over Pakistan's terror links

"Pakistan's long and blemished history of sponsoring almost all the terrorist groups operating in Jammu and Kashmir is now an open secret. In the late eighties, it again unleashed a policy of death and destruction by exporting terrorism into the Kashmir Valley through its various terrorist proxies like Hizbul Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Taibah and Jaish-e-Mohammed. To this day, the Pakistani Military Establishment continues to patronize dozens of terrorist groups. Thousands of my fellow Kashmiris have died in this proxy war orchestrated by Pakistan," said Qureshi.
