MUZAFFARABAD, May 8: The Kashmiri Mujahideen groups declared on Wednesday that they would frustrate New Delhi’s designs to “sabotage the freedom struggle through the elements which have been bought by it.”
In a statement, the Muttahidda Jihad Council (MJC) said: “It has been noticed that India’s notorious intelligence agency, RAW, is hiring some defeated elements in the occupied territory to create fallacies about the ongoing Jihad. But, we must make it clear to everyone that such traitors can in no way stop the Mujahideen from moving ahead towards achieving their goal of freedom.”
Though the statement did not specify the elements RAW was said to have hired, it was believed to be directed against the former chief commander of the Hizbul Mujahideen, Abdul Majid Dar, and his associates, who were expelled by the group on May 4.
Hizb is the largest of all the groups engaged in armed struggle to overthrow Indian rule and its supreme commander, Syed Salahuddin, is also the chairman of the MJC, which is conglomeration of 14 groups.
Sources in some Jihadi outfits claim that Dar and his associates would soon be launching their own militant group. “The sacrifice of 80,000 martyrs cannot be compromised for the self interest of any person or persons,” the MJC said.
“People of Jammu and Kashmir must have faith that we will continue to struggle for the right to self-determination as has been enshrined in the United Nations resolutions (on the dispute). The very purpose of our armed struggle is to rid our homeland of the Indian subjugation at the earliest.”
The MJC resolved that it would meet every challenge with gallantry and would not let anyone cause even a little damage to the movement.
“The elements trying to enjoy a honeymoon with the Indian government will meet a dreadful fate like that of the other renegades such as Kuka Paray and Nabba Azad,” it warned.
FUNERAL PRAYERS: Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, chief of the Jamaat ud Dawa (previously the Markaz Dawa wal Irshad), will deliver on Friday sermons here, and will lead the Ghaibana Nimaz-i-Janaza of the Muslims killed at the hands of Hindu fanatics in the ongoing communal and sectarian riots in the Indian state of Gujarat, his party announced here on Wednesday.
