If Pakistan cannot handle its terrorists lets the neighbors take care of them
The "chief"openly condemned on Wednesday a crackdown by the government against another group India blames for an attack on an air base.
Syed Salahuddin, the chairman of the United Jihad Council (UJC), an alliance of groups based in the Pakistani-administered Kashmir, had claimed responsibility for the assault in Pathankot on January 2.
The claim of responsibility was met with a sceptical response among India’s security establishment, which blames another group called Jaish-e-Mohammed.
Last week, security forces arrested the head of Jaish-e-Mohammed as well as several other leaders of the group and shut down offices and seminaries linked to the outfit.
“We are at a loss to understand whether they (the government) are concerned about the interests of the country that feeds them or that of its enemy?,” Salahuddin told a news conference, referring to the government’s crackdown.
“Pakistan is not only an advocate but also a party to the longstanding Kashmir dispute and therefore the Pakistani people, government and media should play the role of a patron rather than of an adversary,” he said, while speaking at the Press Club in Muzzafarabad.
