Early Times Report
Jammu, June 8: The Chief of Muzaffarabad based United Jehad Council and Hizbul Mujahideen supremo, Syed Salahuddin, seems to be quite apprehensive of his future after he finds himself distanced by not only New Delhi but Islamabad too.In order to carve out a safe sailing for himself and his close associates Salahuddin has adopted a new strategy which he believed could help him to be in the centre stage.
Salahuddin is known for his inconsistent stand on the Kashmir issue,on militancy related activities,on bilateral and triangular parleys. Sources close to him say that whenever Salahuddin finds himself being ignored by Islamabad or New Delhi he opts for a strategy that is bound to hit the newspaper headlines which he aspires for coming to the limelight.
The latest one Act play staged by Salahuddin pertains to his outburst against Islamabad.The Hizb supremo has vowed to turn the guns on Pakistan if it stops backing jihadis in Jammu and Kashmir who, he claimed, were fighting "Pakistan's war".

"We are fighting Pakistan's war in Kashmir and if it withdraws its support, the war would be fought inside Pakistan," said Salahuddin, who also heads the Muttahida Jihad Council, a grouping of terrorist organisations based in Pakistan.Reports indicate that Islamabad has not attached any importance to Salahuddin's threats which Pakistan finds quite hollow on the basis of the dwindling man and machine power of the Hizb and the UJC.

Salahuddin has made these remarks during a press interview while referring to a reduction of tensions in Jammu and Kashmir following several rounds of talks between India and Pakistan.He said he was "desperate and agitated" with the new approach adopted by Pakistan in the peace process with India.

The report said the Pakistani political leadership's new approach for normalising relations with India had "stunned" Kashmiri leaders.

"Kashmir has been the key issue but now it has become peripheral as all claims of supporting our struggle politically, diplomatically and morally are nothing but lip service," Salahuddin claimed.

He said he believed that militancy alone is the solution to the Kashmir issues.

"All those who were involved in the so-called peace talks eventually admitted that India is not serious and that it gained more and more time to implement its own design for the region," he claimed.

Salahuddin said he believed the Pakistanis were silent because of the existing dichotomy on the Kashmir issue that has placed Islamabad in a dilemma on whether to support militancy or the peace process.

He said he further believed the Pakistani people must play a vital role in mounting pressure for the Kashmir cause and in forcing the government to withdraw its new approach, which is "hurting the Kashmir struggle".

He contended that the movement could not be wrapped up on the negotiation table.

As is the case with the hardliners in the separatist camp in Kashmir so is it with Salahuddin who believes that normalising trade and business with India would benefit only New Delhi and be counterproductive for Islamabad.
