Damage Peace process between India and Pakistan has been severely damaged by some of the recent activities of Pakistan’s military on the LoC and the ISI’s involvement in the suicide attack on the Indian Embassy in Afghanistan. In 2003 both the countries had agreed to ceasefire on the LoC but India has claimed that Pak military have violated the ceasefire many times and but it has increased manifolds after January.

Embassy Attack Before the ceasefire Pak military used to help the infiltrators to sneak into the Indian side by providing them cover fire. But after the ceasefire infiltrations had completely stopped which resulted into a great downfall of power of militancy in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. But situation has changed after the month of June as Indian security forces have foiled innumerable infiltration bids and have killed many infiltrators. Around the same time Indian Embassy in Afghanistan was attacked by a suicide bomber which killed an Indian diplomat and some Indian security personal besides more than 50 Afghans. India had openly said it has enough evidence to prove the involvement of ISI in the act.

Firing But the worst happened in the last week of July when more than ten Pak soldiers attacked a forward position of Indian military and killed a soldier of Rajputana Rifles. It was a major violation of the ceasefire as both of the sides exchanged fire for more than 12 hours. It ended only after the flag meeting  between the senior officials of both sides. But ceasefire was once again violated when Pak military fired at an Indian post on July 29^th.

Fundamentalists It is the history that infiltration increases many folds before the assembly elections in the state  of Jammu and Kashmir. As time of elections in J&K is nearing infiltration has increased. But it is impossible for the militants to sneak into the Indian side without the support of Pakistani military. Whole of the world knows that there is a close relationship between Pak military, ISI and Kashmiri militants. On the other hand ISI is controlled by the military instead of the elected government. There are many Islamic fundamentalist elements in the military and ISI who are against the peace process with a Hindu state. Besides the ceasefire they have kept on planning and helping the militant activities against India. It has severely affected the peace process between both of the countries.
