| Narco-terrorism replaced so-called “Kashmir movement,” admits ex-Jamaat leader | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 12: Former Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) leader and hardcore separatist leader Talat Majid on Thursday observed that the so-called freedom movement in Kashmir has been replaced with narco-terrorism.
Addressing the function after joining the Apni Party, Talat Majid said that it was the gun that was claiming the lives of innocent youth of Kashmir now the gun has been replaced with narco-terrorism.
“It is very unfortunate that separatist in Kashmir have maintained a criminal silence on narco terrorism”, he said.
The former leader of the banned Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) Talat Majid admitted without hesitation that the destiny of the people of Jammu and Kashmir lies with India and it is high time to accept their reality to save the future of the younger generation.
Hailing from south Kashmir Pulwama district Talat Majid, a Rukn-e-Jamaat (member of Jamaat) before it was banned, joined the Apni Party headed by Syed Altaf Bukhari along with a large number of his supporters.
“During private conversations, all separatist leaders accept this reality that the future of the people of Jammu and Kashmir only lies with India but they lack the guts to tell this truth of the people”, the ex-Jamaat leader said, adding, “In the prevailing geo-political situation it is a hard reality which every Kashmiri has to accept”.
“We should accept the fact that our destiny is with India as looking at the world and the geopolitical scenario we have been living in delusion and now we should accept the reality and walk with India as our future lies with it only”, he said.
Talat Majid is the second separatist who joined the Apni Party during the last month.
Exactly one month ago on September 12, former separatist leader Syed Muzaffar Rizvi had joined the Apni Party. He was appointed as vice president of the party.
Rizvi was the general secretary of Itehad-ul-Muslimeen headed by former Hurriyat Conference chairman Abbass Ansari.
Majid made it clear that his decision was not influenced by any pressure to be a part of a mainstream political party.
Those who joined the Apni Party along with Talat Majeed, included Manzoor Ahmad Mir, Aijaz Ahmad Wani, Shahzad-ul-Islam, Akhtar Majeed Dar, Dr Najeeb-ur-Rehman, Raja Ahtisham Alayi, Ishfaq Ahmad Malik, Lateef Ahmad Bhat, Imran Sidiq, Aijaz Ahmat Bhat, Mohammad Iqbal Hurrah, Younis Ahmad Dar, and others. |
