‘HM can strike anywhere in India’
Srinagar: United Jehad Council chief Syed Salahudin
Monday confirmed that ‘Shoidah-i-Brigade, the militant outfit responsible for
Kathua twin attack is the brain child of Hizbul Mujahideen and this
organization will continue to strike in different parts of Jammu region.
In an interview
with Srinagar based news agency CNS, Salahudin said that different youth from
Jammu region including Kishtwar, Ramban, Rajouri, Poonch, Banihal and other
parts are joining their newly established militant outfit ‘Shoidah-i-Brigade’
and it will continue to target security establishments in Jammu region. He said
that the outfit was formed soon after the Gool incident in which innocent
Muslim youth were butchered by Indian Security personnel.
“We are capable
of striking anywhere in India and we believe that armed struggle is inevitable
in the present context of Kashmir Freedom struggle. India has never responded
to the peaceful movement that Kashmiri people launched from time to time and it
is our firm belief that Gun is the only way to dislodge Indian Army from the
state of Jammu and Kashmir,” he said adding Shoidah-i-Brigade is expanding its
base in Rajouri, Poonch and Banihal.
He maintained
that with regard to Kashmir issue, there is no difference between National
Democratic Alliance (NDA) and United Progressive Alliance (UPA). “Whether it is
Congress or BJP, Janta Dal or CPI(M), all parties pursue same policy with
regard to Kashmir. To expect any positive results from NDA government or from
Narendara Modi will be disastrous. We must understand that all the Indian
parties are anti-Kashmir particularly Narendra Modi who is the killer of
innocent Muslims,” he said.
Syed Salahudin
claimed that Kashmir issue was never discussed in any Indo-Pak ministerial
level talks. “I am telling you with authority that Kashmir was never the
subject during any Ministerial level talks between India and Pakistan as India
always showed half-hearted willingness to discuss this vital issue and instead
discussed the issues related to Siachen and Sir Creek,” he said adding that
Pakistan continued to hold dialogue with India with a hope that it will one day
agree to talk on Kashmir issue.
“These are talks
only for the purpose of talks or to just keep the stakeholders engaged. It has
brought no result in the past nor will it do so in the future. During the past
six decades, hundreds of such exercises have been undertaken. But what is the
result? The issue has to be resolved in a realistic way. India and Pakistan
both have to agree that Kashmiris are the principle party to the dispute. Till
they carry on bilateral dialogue, there will be no result just like it has
happened in the past. There will be no breakthrough,” he said adding that
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq after various interactions and photo sessions with Indian
leadership himself admitted that it is meaningless to hold dialogue with the
Government of India.
Salahuddin
advised the Government of Pakistan not to repeat the mistake of putting Kashmir
on the back burner and try to foster friendship with New Delhi through trade,
cultural exchanges and tourism.
Responding to a
query, Syed Salahudin said that he does not want to expose the ‘black-sheep’
present in different separatist organizations. “I am striving for unity amoung
different separatist organizations and in this regard we are putting our
efforts to make the plan successful. At this stage, it is not convenient to
expose the black sheep that work for different Indian agencies. I appeal to
different separatist organizations to show door to those elements who despite
being their members work for the Indian agencies,” he said adding that an
insider in the garb of a friend always prove more dangerous than an outsider
who is a known foe.
“Geelani,
Mirwaiz, Shabir Shah Yasin Malik and others pitch for election boycott but it
would be convenient and fruitful for the ongoing freedom struggle if they all
would appeal for election boycott using the same stage. No doubt, all these
leaders are doing a marvelous job but it is unfortunate despite having the same
cause, they use the different stages,” he said adding that time has come that
Hurriyat leaders reach out to the people with united hand.
Salahudin alleged
that whatever development takes place in Kashmir Valley is not meant for people
but for Indian Army. “Zojila Tunnel will be constructed for the benefit of the
Army as it will make their movement easy and same is the case with railway
track that is going to be laid from Northern Headquarters to Uri,” he said
adding that India is exploiting the resources in its own interest.
While replying to
a question, Salahudin said that Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai is life-long friend of
Syed Ali Geelani who could prove better successor of Geelani. “We pray for the
better health of Geelani and pray to Almighty he leads the ongoing movement
till it gets concluded. But in my opinion, if need arises, Seharai can prove a
good successor of Geelani and he can deliver the goods,” he said adding that
only the Shura has authority to elect the successor of Geelani.
Responding to a
query Hizb Chief said that those who cast votes and support pro-India parties
would certainly face wrath either from God or from any other source. (CNS)
