Mujahideen will not let Mossad trod in IHK:
Salahuddin
Srinagar—Reiterating that ongoing Indo-Pak peace
talks cannot resolve the Kashmir issue, Chairman of United Jihad
Council (UJC) and Hizbul-Mujahideen Suprem Syed Salahuddin has
asserted that mujahideen have no objection in opening of roads and
members of divided families meeting each other. However, he made it
clear that the freedom fighters would not let Mossad operatives to
enter the occupied valley disguised as tourists.
“Mujahideen will never accept Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) as
lasting solution to Kashmir issue neither can bilateral talks
between India and Pakistan resolve the Kashmir issue,” a local news
agency KNS quoted Salahuddin as saying.
Referring to the arrival of tourists in the Valley Salahuddin said
that the “genuine tourists” are “safe here.” But the Hizb Chief was
quick to add,
“Mujahideen would target the Mossad (Israeli) agents coming to
Kashmir under the false pretense of being tourists.”
He said they would not shy away from attacking the Israeli and
Indian intelligence agents arriving in Kashmir as tourists. “We will
target such agents and will not allow them roam freely in Kashmir”,
he warned. Salahuddin claimed that Israeli soldiers have been
helping Indian troops in Kashmir in their fight against the
militants.
Salahuddin who is also the chairman of United Jihad
Council—conglomerate of 13 militant outfits, ruled out any
possibility of a ceasefire in future, however, he admitted that,
“Intelligence network laid down by the secret Indian agencies has
inflicted substantial damage to them.”
Keeping violence in polls aside, Salahuddin said they would not
favor gun in the coming assembly polls. “If people would cast ballot
on their own, nobody would stop them.
However, if troopers forcibly ask them on gunpoint to do same, then
militants would fire upon them,” Salahuddin said. Informing that
renouncing of gun in coming polls does not indicate green signal for
people to cast vote, he said the decision was taken in the wake of
Indian propaganda at International levels that people in valley want
to cast vote but due to militant threats, they refrain from doing
so. “We would also not allow mainstream politicians to defame or
harm the separatists struggle in Kashmir,” he added.
Giving reason behind the public participation in the election
rallies in Kashmir, he said it is due to division among separatist
camp and Pakistan’s continuous discouraging Kashmir policy. “Due to
passive stand of Pakistan on Kashmir issue, people have become
disillusioned. It has also given a chance to Indian Intelligence
agencies to lay down the spy network during the vacant period,”
Salahuddin said.
