In an emailed statement to KNS, Hizb spokesperson, Saleem Hashmi quoted Salahuddin said that the “barbaric act” of killing a three-year old Burhan was an aimed to tarnish the image of Islam and the freedom fighters in Kashmir. “Such killers cannot have any association with Islam or with Kashmir’s freedom movement,” he said.
The Hizb chief alleged that Special Operation Group (SOG) of state police and their paid agents might be behind the killing. He said that Modi government wanted to revive the Ikhwan era in Kashmir and the spate of killings by “so called unidentified men” was part of this nefarious design of New Delhi, which actually was revealed by statement by Modi’s defence minister in March in this regard.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
“Modi government is hell-bent upon to revive the SOG culture in the state. But we will not let their designs to succeed.”
The Hizb chief also criticised a section of media for creating an impression that such killing were taking place as a result of factional war between Hibul Mujahideen and Laskari Islam. He warned that media should refrain from such “state-sponsored narrative” and added that there was no organisation in the name of Laskari Islam. “Indian agencies are actually using name of Laskari Islam to cover its nefarious activities,” he said.
