The “Qaumi Taranah” versions were being used very actively and was run by both the Pakistan Army and terrorist organisations through the FM transmission stations to send messages to there handlers and cadres in Jammu and Kashmir.

The very high frequency (VHF) radio stations were sending signals near the LoC with India by playing the “Qaumi Taranah” and these signals were also being used by the LeT, JeM and Al Badr to communicate with their local cadres in Jammu and Kashmir, the intelligence inputs said.

Sources said that the VHF messages were being received by the terrorists near the LoC and they were circulating those to create violence and even mislead people in the nearby villages.
