"I can hear the azaan (call for prayers) on the loudspeakers five times a day. The behaviour of the Indian Army is completely opposite to that of the Pakistan Army. This makes me feel that there is peace in Kashmir," Patra said.
Revealing the Pakistan-ISI-LeT nexus working towards creating disruption in J&K, Ali Babar Patra recounted how he met a man in Sialkot who used to gather youth for LeT and ISI. After his father's death in 2014, Ali Babar came to Sialkot from Pakistan's Punjab to work in a garment factory. "I had no other way as I needed money. I went with him. He gave me ₹20,000 and promised to give ₹30,000 later. He left him with the ISI which transferred me to Pakistan Army which then arranged for my training under a retired Pakistan army person. In our training, we were taught operations of Ak 47 and grenade. Then we were sent to LeT and I got selected."
