“His killing is a huge setback to the Lashkar in the valley,” Sameer Patil, a fellow in national security studies at Gateway House, a think-tank based in Mumbai, told Benar News, referring to the Himalayan valley in which Kashmir is nestled.
“But the security forces need to maintain their vigil as with Qasim’s killing, local militants of Hizbul Mujahideen, in South Kashmir, will try to wrest control of militancy in the valley,” Patil warned.
