SRINAGAR, June 1 (CNS): United Jihad Council (UJC) today said ‘Lashkar-e-Islam’- does not exist anywhere while the Indian agencies have been using this outfit to mislead the people of Kashmir as well as defame the ongoing struggle.
Yestyerday, Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani had asked UJC to probe the background of ‘Lashkar-e-Islam’- the organization claiming the responsibility for attacks on mobile towers and outlets.
In a statement to CNS, the spokesperson said that, “UJC has already made it clear that Lashkar-e-Islam has nothing to do with the freedom struggle going on in Kashmir. This group got itself exposed when it threatened the Hurriyat leaders asking them not to participate in the funeral processions of militants. The activities of this group are the result of popularity of militants in Kashmir. It is an Indian group created by India out of frustration,” the spokesperson said.
“UJC wants to make it clear that it will give a befitting reply to all those elements, which are hell-bent to defame the Kashmir struggle. Leaders and people of Kashmir are well aware about the shoddy character of Indian agencies and they will also help UJC to deal with this Indian sponsored group,” the spokesperson said.
