Overview

  • Times Now and WION report that intelligence dossiers allege Pakistan’s ISI is directing Islamic State Khorasan Province toward operations in Kashmir and facilitating coordination with Lashkar-e-Taiba.
  • A newly surfaced photo reportedly shows ISKP’s Balochistan coordinator, Mir Shafiq Mengal, gifting a pistol to LeT commander Rana Mohammad Ashfaq, which sources cite as proof of operational collaboration.
  • Recent issues of ISKP’s propaganda magazine Yalgaar are said to outline plans to expand into Kashmir, described by analysts as part of a broader state-managed proxy approach.
  • Sources claim the ISKP–LeT convergence is intended to target Baloch insurgents and Taliban elements resistant to Islamabad, while extending ISKP’s reach into India’s Jammu & Kashmir.
  • Outlets note that these are intelligence-sourced allegations supported by a photo and prior activity in Mastung and Khuzdar since 2018, with independent public verification still limited.
