Reminiscent of 1965, Anti-India Radio Broadcast Started on Internet
SRINAGAR: Using state-of-art technology, an
internet radio exhorting Kashmiris to rise against India has been
launched.
Posting the news about the launch of the
anti-India internet radio on its website, anti-India news portal Kashmir Media
Service said on Thursday: "Radio Sada-e-Hurriyet-e-Jammu Kashmir has launched
its round-the-clock internet transmission. It has been effectively projecting
the human rights violations by Indian troops in occupied Kashmir."
The launch of the internet radio assumes
significance in the backdrop of the cancellation of National Security
Advisor-level talks between India and Pakistan and the growing Line of Control
(LoC) violations in Jammu and Kashmir.
During the 1965 India-Pakistan war, an
underground radio station - Radio Sada-e-Kashmir - had started broadcast in
September 1965 which used to air news about the actions carried out by
infiltrator in the Kashmir Valley.
The infiltration had finally forced India to
carry out military strikes against Pakistan on the LoC and the International
Border in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab.
Although 'Radio Sada-e-Kashmir' claimed to be
carrying out its broadcast from the valley, it was later established that the
broadcast was being aired from across the LoC in Pakistan-occupied part of the
state.
To
counter the anti-India propaganda carried out by 'Radio Sada-e-Kashmir', the
local state-controlled Radio Kashmir also started highlighting the successes of
the Indian Army against the infiltrators and on the borders against the Pakistan
Army in 1965.
The
latest anti-India internet radio broadcasts programmes in Kashmiri, Urdu,
English and Hindu.
Intelligence agencies here were tight-lipped on Thursday about the
broadcasts and on whether action was in the offing to block such
broadcast.
