Srinagar, Aug 02: Pro-Pakistan militant outfit Hizbul Mujahideen today warned of intensifying suicide attacks within and outside Jammu and Kashmir and rejected to acknowledge the ceasefire proposal of separatist amalgam Hurriyat Conference.
It is for the militant leadership to decide on the timing
of calling off operations, the pro-Pakistan militant outfit's
spokesman Junaidul Islam told a local English daily in a
telephonic interview.
"Ceasefire has its own time and political people cannot decide it. Only militant leadership know how and when to announce a ceasefire," Islam said.
He said the outfit did not feel the necessity for a ceasefire for dialogue as talks could go on simultaneously.
Hurriyat chairman Maulana Mohammad Abbas Ansari and newly-elected Amir (chief) of Jamaat-e-Islami had called for a ceasefire between militants and security forces to put an end to bloodshed in the state.
"If we feel that India is sincere in its approach (to resolve Kashmir issue), then we can think of it. However, at the moment, the Mujahids will intensify their operations against security forces especially fidayeen (suicide) attacks and expand them to other parts of the country as well," he said.
"Hizb leadership has decided to carry out suicide attacks comprising Pakistani and Kashmiri militants in the coming days. Scores of deadly attacks will be carried out," he claimed.
