| Gunnies express concern over shift in Kashmir policy |
| 2002-05-29 |
| Muttahida Jihad Council (MJC) a conglomerate of 14 Jihadi organizations has expressed grave concern over banning of the Jehadi organizations by the government and the statement of President General Musharraf Pervez on disallowing the freedom fighters to use Pakistani soil in this regard. A 2-day summit meeting of MJC was held in Lahore Wednesday under chairman, Syed Salahuddin. Heads of all the Jehadi organizations participated in the meeting. Reiterating their determination to continue their struggle till the achievement of their goal of liberation of Kashmir from the clutches of Indian forces, the Jehadi leaders decided that the freedom movement will go on even if Pakistan discontinues its support. The meeting also regretted the lack of reaction from the political parties against the act of banning the Jehadi organizations and shift in Pakistan's Kashmir policy. This is for public consumption. Everybody's in on the joke by now, to include the Indians. There will probably be house arrest for some of the bigs, a "crackdown" followed by changes of name for some — not even all — of the jihadi organizations, and in three months things'll be back to normal. |
