They had received orders directly from HM supremo Mohammad Yousf Shah @Syed Salahudin based in Pakistan to kill the Sarpanchs. These orders are being passed through HM Chief of the valley Ab Qayoom Najar @Jan Sahb S/O Ab Ahad Najar R/O Mumkak Sopore.Whilst the terror incidents being orchestrated by Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) were being investigated it came to the knowledge of security agencies that Hizb is roping in exmilitants and sympathizers of HM in its terror fold.

The mass participation of people in country side in governance affairs has frustrated him and he has directed his cadres to harm members of Panchayat Raj Institutions by all means. It has also come to the knowledge of security agencies that a campaign of character assassination of members of Panchayat Raj Institutions is under way, being orchestrated with the help of Hurriyat (G) to build a case for their killing.Serious efforts are on to neutralize the HM militants network active in North Kashmir areas of Handwara, Sopore, Naidkhai and Palhalan to ensure peace and order and put an end to incidents of terrorism.
