| United jehad council still not clearon ceasefire or jehad | | |
Srinagar,October 13 :-The Muzaffarabad based United Jehad Council has not so far formally discussed whether to go in for a ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmiror to continue the ongoing Jehad.
This claimed by one other than Rafia Rasool,General
Secretary Jamaitul Mujahideen,which is a constituent
of the Jehad Council.Rafia,in a writeup in a
newspaper,has said that the issue of ceasefire has
never been taken up by the members of the council.
He has also made it clear that it was not only upto
the Council supremo,Syed Salahuddin,to give his nod or
reject the idea of ceasefire.
Rafia Rasool has also stated that any decision by
the United Jehad Council on ceasefire cannot work
unless it has the support of Jash-e-Mohamad,Al Badr
and Lashkar-i-Toiba.According to him,though Jaish,Al
Badr and LeT are not the constituents of the Jehad
Council their leaders are usually consulted whenever
some important issue had to be discussed.
Reports reaching here from across the LOC have
indicated that the United Jehad Council had planned to
discuss the ceasefire issue but when the
council leaders learnt that Jaish,LeT and Al Badr
outfits were not in favour of ceasefire the Council
avoided taking any firm decision on the matter.
Its leadership simply tried to drop hints about
conditional ceasefire offer.And that too was given up
when it found the Government of India not willing to
accept any conditional offer for ceasefire.
The centre and the state Government besides the
security and intelligence agencies were opposed to the
demand for demilitarisation saying that unless the
level of violence and infiltration from across the
border did not drop to a minimal level the question of
demilitarisation did not arise.Yes,the Government
could examine two other demands which included release
of detainees.As far as the third demand for end to
human rights violations by the security forces was
concerned the Government has already taken in hand
measures which have drastically reduced the level of
excesses.
And if Rafia Rasool's statement is to be relied on
it clearly indicates that the United Jehad Council in
general and Hizbul Mujahideen in particular are not in
a position to decide on the issue of ceasefire. |
