After the 1987 State Legislative Assembly elections, some of the results proved to be disputed. Kashmir India conflicts reached to elevated levels when a wave of insurgency begun in 1989. The insurgency resulted in the formation of militant wings in Kashmir, called as Mujahidin, and is still present in Kashmir. India is of the view that insurgency occurred because of the Afghan Mujahidin who entered the Kashmir Valley after the Soviet- Afghan War. Pakistan claims that the insurgency did not begun because of Afghan Mujahidin as they have not left Afghanistan until 1992, three years after the insurgency. Some Kashmiri leaders of different movements like Kashmiri Liberation Front, in Kashmir demanded a separate and independent Kashmir. Pakistan insists that these insurgents are Kashmiri citizens and not from Pakistan.
As a consequence of Kashmir India Conflicts, India claims that these insurgents are from Pakistan administered Kashmir or from Afghanistan and they want Jammu and Kashmir to become a part of Pakistan. India further claims that Pakistan is providing arms and giving training to the terrorists groups in Kashmir. India also asserts that these terrorist are killing many people in Kashmir and are creating a violation of Human Rights and refuse that Indian military is responsible for violations. Indian Government further states that militancy is declining now in Kashmir. In a visit to Pakistan, the present Chief Minister of Kashmir declared that these militants fight in the name of Islam.
Pakistan claims that these insurgents are not from Pakistan and Pakistani Government name them as Kashmiri Freedom Fighters. Pakistan has declared to give moral and ethical support to these insurgents while India argues that they are Pakistani supported terrorist from Pakistan administered Kashmir further precipitating the Kashmir India Conflict. Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, in an interview to the Washington Post, called the Kashmiri separatist as “terrorist”. These comments of Zardari evoked a rage of anger in Kashmiris as some of them even defied the curfew by the Indian army in order to burn him to death.
Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, the pro-separatist leader, in 2008, in an interview told the Washington Post that there are peaceful movements like “purely indigenous, purely Kashmiri” are also going on along with the insurgency in Indian occupied Kashmir since 1989. It began in 1987 when the elections were proved to be disputed, and was created for the same reason as the insurgency.
In 2011, 2156 bodies of innocent unidentified Kashmiris were found buried in 40 graves over last 20 years by the state human rights commission. According to the security forces, these bodies were of the dead militants who came from India and they also claim that some of the ts bodies are of those people who have crossed Pakistan occupied Kashmir to become militants. 574 of them were identified as “missing Locals”, killed by militants, by the state human rights commission. The Kashmiris consider Indian Government and Military for the insurgency of 1989 in Jammu and Kashmir as it form the basis of militancy in Kashmir.
