Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has allegedly directed overground workers (OGWs) in Jammu and Kashmir to join mainstream political parties to conceal terror-related activities, according to findings from recent police interrogations. Investigators reportedly recovered membership cards of national political parties from several arrested OGWs. Security officials believe the strategy is aimed at helping operatives avoid scrutiny while facilitating recruitment, fundraising and movement of weapons. Former Jammu and Kashmir DGP S.P. Vaid said political party membership could be misused as a shield during security checks. Central agencies are now tracking suspected OGW networks and working to disrupt their logistical support systems. (PC: NDTV)
