In an explosive development that completely dismantles Pakistan’s decades-old narrative of managing a purely “indigenous" freedom struggle in Jammu and Kashmir, a top commander of the banned terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen has openly admitted to the massive infiltration and deployment of Pakistani nationals in the region.

CNN-News18 has accessed exclusive details of an on-camera speech delivered by Hizbul Mujahideen’s Deputy Supreme Commander, Shamsheer Khan, during a Jamaat-e-Islami gathering in Muzaffarabad. In the blunt address, Khan explicitly acknowledged that armed fighters recruited from across various provinces of Pakistan have been systematically sent across the Line of Control (LoC) to wage war against Indian security forces, confirming that their remains now fill local graveyards across the territory.

The Admission: Dismantling Islamabad’s Deniability

According to top intelligence sources, the highly sensitive admission serves as an ironclad self-confirmation of India’s long-standing diplomatic position on the global stage. By providing granular geographical markers, the terror leader has effectively destroyed Islamabad’s official stance of plausible deniability regarding cross-border infiltration.

“From Lolab and Kupwara to Kathua, there isn’t a graveyard in Kashmir without the remains of Pakistani terrorists," Khan stated openly, directly linking the spread of cross-border casualties from the northernmost borders to the southern plains of Jammu.

This internal acknowledgement proves that the prolonged conflict in Kashmir is aggressively sustained by an engineered external supply of trained foreign fighters rather than an organic domestic uprising.

The Institutionalised Pipeline Exposed

Indian intelligence agencies note that the scale of operations detailed by the Hizbul commander confirms the existence of a highly organised, institutionalised state pipeline. Moving, housing, and logistically deploying armed fighters from different corners of Pakistan over the heavily fortified LoC cannot be achieved by isolated insurgent networks alone.

Instead, the entire infrastructure relies on a sophisticated framework, including:

• Active Launchpads: Standardised staging areas maintained along the border zones to pool recruited fighters.
• ISI Intelligence Coordination: Tactical planning, route mapping, and real-time electronic intelligence provided by the Inter-Services Intelligence.
• Pakistan Army Cover Fire: Strategic military deployment and heavy artillery cover fire along the LoC to facilitate successful infiltration breaches.

The timing of the speech is also highly calculated. Handlers used the death anniversary of a killed local terrorist to aggressively glorify foreign casualties. This strategy reveals a coordinated effort by Pakistani handlers to artificially merge localised civil grievances with a cross-border jihadi agenda. By presenting foreign fighters as martyrs for the local cause, the terror apparatus seeks to exploit emotional vulnerabilities, triggering fresh waves of radicalisation and securing vital financial streams for their operations.
