Pak terror groups vow jihad against India

Islamabad: Leaders of Pakistan-based banned militant groups like the Lashker-e-Toiba and Hizb- ul-Mujahideen Wednesday called on supporters to wage a 'jihad' or holy war for the liberation of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.

The militant leaders pledged to wage a jihad to "free" Jammu and Kashmir during a rally held in Kotli, a town in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Among those who addressed the gathering were senior LeT commander Abdul Wahid Kashmiri and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin.

Kashmiri said the LeT would continue to support the Kashmiri people "until they achieve freedom from India".

He told the gathering, "It is the religious obligation of mujahideen to fight invaders and oppressors across the world."

In his address, Salahuddin, who also heads the United Jihad Council, said: "The only way to liberate Kashmir is jihad."

He said "diplomacy, talks and negotiations" over the past few decades "have not worked".

Leaders of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa, declared a front for the LeT by the UN Security Council, also attended the rally.

A resolution adopted at the rally said, "Jihad will continue until India ends its occupation of Kashmir." About 5,000 people attended the rally in Kotli, located about 80 km from Islamabad.

They shouted slogans like, "We are ready for jihad." Salahuddin also claimed that the militant groups were not behind attacks within Pakistan. Militant groups based in PoK had maintained a low profile over the past few years. However, there has been a marked spurt in their activities in recent months.

Today's rally was organised to mark Pakistan Day, the anniversary of the adoption in 1940 of the Pakistan Resolution, which called for the creation of a separate country for the Muslims of the subcontinent.

India has asked Pakistan to take action against LeT founder and JuD chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, who it has described as the mastermind behind the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

Pakistan has maintained that there is no evidence that would allow it to prosecute Saeed.

In marathi language there is a common statement that is `badgyannach jast ut yeto` which means people who have converted to other cast tries to showcase them as the true follower. And i think all people living in indian continent are hindus only.

What these porkies are going to do? Nothing...
If i am also having gun in my hand i can also start dharmayudha with non hindus. There is nothing which we can`t do what they are doing. But we don`t have to do that till now, if situation comes where there is no option but to pick up the rifle then will all have to do that.
Hindu dharma teach us leave and let leave. And that is why you will find all religions leaving in india peacfully.
Indian army is capable inuf to handle these useless people living in useless country.

A very good example of a civilised country and its dignified and honourable citizens. Pakistan truly is a terrorist country. Since independence it`s only aim was to capture Kashmir for its water resources (not to rescue its people from indian cruelty), bleed India, and capture Afghanistan through its shadow army ``Taliban``. They have done nothing for their country`s economic development or for its common people. I dont know where the Billions of aid dollars have gone. Internationally recognised Criminals are its honourable citizens. And still they claim they are innocent.

Syed salauddin is a tiger within his country and advising poor gullible people to go for jihad. Is any of their family being deputed for this. He is living in a fool`s paradise. In the ultimate analysis the POK rightfully belongs to India and we would leave no stone unturned to wrest our territory before long. He should ralise that Pakistan is a failed state and it is already going towards its doom. He would die like a dog.

I am a kashmiri Muslim. I want to tell these stupid Pakistani bustards that you have done enough harm to people of Kashmir and our beautiful land. India must stop these extremist as soon as they can. if possible strike them with our migs. We have lost everything because of this so called ``Jihad``. using the name to gain money and be in power. World know that Islam is a peaceful religion and teaches be in peace with all non Muslims and love all human race. Last and the best I am proud to be Muslim living in India and proud to be INDIAN!!!
