He has called the attack a 'continuation of their activity, targeting Indian military installations' rather than a plot to disrupt India-Pakistan talks.
Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) chief and United Jihad Council head Syed Salahuddin has taken the responsibility for the Pathankot terror attack, reports The Indian Express. As per the daily, Salahuddin had admitted HM's role in an interview to Pakistan's Urdu daily Wajood.
He has called the attack a 'continuation of their activity, targeting Indian military installations' than a plot to disrupt India-Pakistan talks. Armed Mujahideen are engaged with the eight lakh Indian forces for the last 26 years and each day, Mujahideen are targeting Indian military installations. Pathankot is a continuation of that activity. It has nothing to do with the dialogue process," he said.
He rubbished the India-Pakistan dialogue process saying that Pakistan is a primary party and advocate pf the Kashmir issue. He said that Pakistan has to consider the feelings and aspirations of 'oppressed Kashmiris' "You cannot be an advocate of the murdered and a friend of the murderer simultaneously," he said about warming up of India-Pakistan relations.
He said that the talks between both countries are India's aim in deceiving the international community adding that the dialogue process is a 'waste of time'. “India is neither ready to hold talks on the basic issue of Kashmir nor is it ready to accept occupied Kashmir as a party, so this dialogue process is… a waste of time,” he said.
Brushing off that perception in Pakistan that admitting HM's role in Pathankot attacks harms the country, he said, "Morally and as per the international law, we are right to carry out any activity for the independence of our occupied land,"
He warned about more attacks to come saying, "The anti-India sentiment among the population and the passion for jihad among the youth of the state will keep providing strength to it.”
He blamed the India for not having a peace solution for Jammu and Kashmir. The traditional obstinacy… and military arrogance of India… and the double standards of world powers have destroyed the essence of peaceful means. The youth of the state are united in the understanding that there isn’t any solution to the issue but through a result-oriented armed struggle,” he said.
