Kashmir dispute: Jehadi outfits seek help from Pakistan
Kashmiri jehadi outfits urge Pakistan to provide military support to freedom fighters.
MUZAFFARABAD:
Kashmiri jehadi outfits on Thursday urged Pakistan to provide military support to freedom fighters fighting in India-Administered Kashmir.
“Pakistan is constitutionally, morally and religiously bound to support mujahideen for the liberation of its jugular vein occupied by India,” chairman United Jehad Council (UJC) Syed Salhuddin said at a Kashmir solidarity conference in Muzaffarabad.
The conference was organised by Tehreek-i-Azadi Jammu Kashmir, a newly formed organisation founded by Jamaat-ud-Dawa.
Salahuddin said that the survival, security and stability of Pakistan is linked with the success of Kashmir liberation movement.
“It’s the duty of Pakistan to provide relief to the people suffering in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, besieged by 800,000 Indian troops,” he said, adding, “Pakistan should make efforts to grant access to international relief agencies to Kashmir, because the territory had been turned into a
war zone.”
He said talks with India would be a farce as India has not been ready to accept Kashmir as a disputed territory.
Former ISI chief General Hameed Gul said that jehad is the only way to defeat India in Kashmir. “India will have to quit Kashmir in two years after the withdrawal of America troops from Afghanistan, as there will be no room for India.”
