Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 10: Two senior leaders of the National Conference engaged in a verbal duel over supporting terrorists responsible for killing innocent people in Jammu and Kashmir.
As per reports in some Kashmir-based web portals, the general secretary of the National Conference and former minister Ali Mohammad Sagar and district president of the Srinagar National Conference Peer Afaq entered into a verbal duel on the issue of supporting Pakistan-based terrorist Mushtaq Ahmad Zargar alias Latram.
Mushtaq Ahmad Zargar alias Latram is the founder of the Al-Umar Mujahideen terror group.
Reports said that Ali Mohammad Sagar condemned the action of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to attach the properties of Latram after he was declared as a terrorist by the Union Home Ministry.
Sagar reportedly expressed sympathy with Latram and his family but the statement of Sagar was vociferously countered by Peer Afaq.
Entering into a verbal duel with Sagar, Peer Afaq said that Latram was responsible for killing a large number of workers and leaders of the National Conference. He charged Sagar with supporting terrorists who were responsible for killing the National Conference workers.
As both, the leaders entered into exchanging barbs, senior leaders swung into action and saved the situation from further worsening. Afaq’s father, Peer Mohammad Shafi, was also a senior leader and MLA of the National Conference. He was gunned down by men belonging to the terror organization of Latram Al Umar on October 15, 1990.
Notably, on March 2 the NIA attached the property of Mushtaq Ahmad Zargar in Srinagar city.
After the Union home ministry (MHA) declared Zargar a “terrorist'” under the unlawful activities prevention act (UAPA), sleuths of NIA assisted by the local police and the CRPF attached the house of Al-Umar founder, Zargar in Ganai Mohalla of Nowhatta area in Srinagar city.
Zargar was arrested on May 15, 1992 and later released in 1999, along with Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) chief, Masood Azhar and Sheikh Omar.
Three of them were exchanged for passengers of hijacked Indian Airlines flight IC-814 in 1999. The flight going to Kathmandu was hijacked and flown to Kandahar in Afghanistan. These three were exchanged in Kandahar to secure the safe release of the passengers and crew.
Zargar was earlier associated with Jammu & Kashmir Liberation Front and was responsible for several terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. He has also been involved in other heinous crimes, including murders, and has a close association with other terror outfits such, as Al-Qaeda and JeM. |
