Pramod Kumar Singh / New Delhi
<b>In a heartening incident, angry villagers of Dul in Doda district refused to allow the burial of an area commander of Lashkar-e-Tayyeba killed in an encounter in their village graveyard. They were not willing to accede space to the body of a Pakistan national who had terrorised the entire district with his mindless killings, rapes and forcible abduction of youth.</b>
<b>The Lashkar commander identified as Akram alias Abu Maaz was a Pakistani national and instrumental in many ruthless murders, extortions, rape of hapless women and forcibly abducting innocent youth and taking them across the border for terrorist training</b>.
Abu Maaz had been on the radar of the Indian security forces for the last five years for his role in creating mayhem in Doda district. They were not alone; Jammu and Kashmir Police was also chasing him for his involvement in several criminal cases. A joint patrol of army and Jammu and Kashmir Police was tipped off about the movements of Abu Maaz who was cornered and killed in a fierce encounter in Kishtwar on January 14.
<b>As Pakistan refuses to accept the bodies of their own nationals involved in terrorist activities and killed by security forces in the Valley</b>, the Doda district police took Maaz's body to the graveyard at Dul.
When the locals got wind of this, a large crowd gathered to protest the burial of Abu Maaz. Ultimately his body was taken to an undisclosed destination for burial.
<b>This development has definitely warmed the cockles of the hearts of the armed forces involved in a relentless battle against terrorist groups. Since the army pulled out all the stops to aid and rehabilitate earthquake victims, they say this change in the people has been discernible.</b>
It has also resulted in information inflow about the movement of terrorist groups. The result is there for everyone to see as the success ratio has gone up from four to one to eight to one. In the current month alone, 27 misguided youth have surrendered before the security forces. <b>"What was more encouraging is the fact that mothers forced their sons to shun violence and surrender. The wind has started to blow for a change in the Kashmir valley. It is a far cry from the past when terrorists were eulogised as martyrs by their sympathisers," a top security official told The Pioneer.</b>

Expected behavior from Paki Army-
1) Refuse to accept the bodies of their own nationals/Fauji
2) mindless killings, rapes and forcible abduction of youth.
