Lashkar-e-Islam can target pro-freedom leaders, says Geelani’s Hurriyat
Expressing its “satisfaction” over the “clarification” given by the United Jihad Council (UJC) about the Lashkar-i-Islam organization, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) claimed that it has been proven that the said “terror organization is the brainchild of the Indian secret agencies on the pattern of Al-Faran and “its only purpose is to harm and defame the freedom struggle and economics of Kashmir and to disturb the social setup of the state”.
In a statement issued to Kashmir Dispatch, Hurriyat conference claimed that revealed that have got “important evidence” in this regard “which authenticates” the claims of the Jihad Council and it proves that the Lashkar-i-Islam is the creation of the Indian secret agencies.
“On 31 May Sunday, Hurriyat Chairman Syed Ali Geelani had appealed the UJC to find out the truth behind the lesser known organization “Lashkar-i-Islam” who are killing and threatening the people related to the telecommunication system in the Valley. Jihad Council gave detailed explanation in this regard and during this period Hurriyat conference also got evidence of this process that the attacking and threatening of the communication related people is actually the handiwork of the Indian secret agencies and a plot in this regard was formulated some months back according to which an operation will be held in the guise of ‘Mujahideen’ and this operation was also given a particular name,” the amalgam said. While continuing, it said: “And according to these evidences, it looks that this operation is directly looked over by the Indian home ministry and the state administration and even the state police has been deliberately left ignorant in this regard like in the case of Al-Faran group creation and how this organization at first kidnapped and then killed the five innocent European tourists and the state administration and the police were totally unaware about it.”
The Hurriyat said: “Today’s operation is meant to damage the economical and social setup of the Kashmir, according to the reports received by the huriyat conference, the pro-freedom leaders can be the target of this operation.”
Pertinently, the Lashkar-e-Islam have slammed Hurriyat and asked its leaders not attend “funerals of martyrs”.
“If any kind of untoward happened with any pro-freedom leader, it will have serious consequences and all its responsibility will be on the Indian home ministry,” the Hurriyat said, adding: “This operation is also an attempt to cut-off and isolate the Kashmir from the outer world and India want to keep the world community into dark about the human rights violations committed by its forces in Jammu & Kashmir. The emergence of the Lashkar-i-Islam immediately after the statement of Indian home minister Mr. Manohar Parrikar that ‘the terrorism will be eliminated by the terrorism and target killings’ has something hidden in it and it also proves the apprehensions and the doubts of the people right that the Ikhwani culture will again to be started in Jammu & Kashmir but this time in any other form.”
“The person who is said to be the architect of the Ikhwanies (renegades) in 90s and have earned his name in formulation conspiracies, is today at the highest position in the policy makers in New Delhi and is second authority after the Narender Modi in India, so this notion can’t be out rightly rejected that the Lashkar-i-Islam is the creation of the same brain and once again he wants to play a bloody game in this troubled state and create an atmosphere of terror and horror,” the amalgam without naming the person claimed.
“According to the government figures, there are few Mujahideen left in whole of the Jammu & Kashmir and they too are very cautious and vigilant and due to the strong spy network, they hardly manage to expose themselves. Since the surfacing of the Lashkar-e-Islam, it seems that there are militants everywhere and not only this but they openly in the broad day light kill and threaten people and paste threat posters on the roads and army and police are totally unaware about this. This kind of bravery attempts are only done by those persons who are either sponsored by the government or have any type of links with the secret agencies,” the Hurriyat said.
Hurriyat further said that the “impolite language” which Lashkar-i-Islam are “using with the people related to the telecommunication, has never been the manner of the real Mujahideen and nor they use abusive language”.
Hurriyat conference appealed the people that not to worry and terrify and don’t lose hope. “It is a temporary phase and this plot of the intelligence agencies will also fail to succeed in achieving its goal likewise in the past and Kashmiri nation will carry forward their just struggle at any cost and in any way. Indian wicked policies will prove curse for them and it will prove blessings in disguise for we people,” the Hurriyat added.
