Not a single incident of stone pelting in Kashmir this year: Since 2009, Pakistan has funded over Rs 800 crore to stone pelters

Since 2020, the incidents of stone pelting in the Kashmir Valley which were instigated by Pakistan came to a halt after 2020. According to statistics, in the year 2022, only 5 incidents of stone pelting were reported in the valley. Police claim that there has not been a single incident of stone pelting in Kashmir so far this year.

According to a report by the Indian Intelligence Bureau (IB), Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had funded stone pelters in Kashmir to the tune of over Rs 800 crore since 2009. Due to funding from Pakistan, some organizations like the Patharbaaz Association of J&K were formed in Srinagar in 2016.

Stone pelting had become an industry in the Kashmir Valley. Money for stone pelting from Pakistan was sent to the Kashmir Valley through terrorists, handlers, hawala network and other means. From here it was distributed to stone pelting youth through a network of separatist leaders and overground workers.
