• Daily Excelsior: Terror related violence on decline, record flow of tourists in J&K: PM (6 Jun 2013)

Evidence

Analysis

At the June 2013 conference of chief ministers on internal security, Manmohan Singh said terrorist violence in Jammu and Kashmir had fallen by about one-third in 2012 compared with 2011 and that the 2012 parameters were the lowest since the militancy upsurge.

SATP data records 117 terrorism-related fatalities in J&K in 2012, against 181 in 2013. The 2012 figure is consistent with a decline of roughly one-third from the preceding year and with SATP's statement that fatalities had been on a sustained downward trend since 2001.

The claim describes a trend in casualties; it does not assert that militancy had ended. Violence rose again in 2013, which SATP records as a 54.70% increase over 2012.

Notes

The Daily Excelsior report contains character-encoding artefacts; the quoted sentences were legible and are reproduced without the artefacts. SATP's 2011 fatality figure is not directly quoted on the page used, so the 'about one-third' comparison is checked against the 2012 level and the reported MHA figure of a one-third decline.
