| Dar faction will fire Salahuddin? |
| 2002-05-12 |
| After efforts for reconciliation failed between the factions led by Abdul Majid Dar and Syed Salahuddin, the dominant Kashmiri militant outfit Hizbul Mujahideen is likely to soon announce expulsion of Salahuddin and some other leaders besides dissociating itself from the Islamabad-based command council. Hmmm. Sounds like a schism... The move is aimed at establishing complete local control over the outfit besides re-structuring its command council, which would be headed by Dar, who was expelled by Islamabad-based command council for his "anti-Hizb" activities. Terming the decision to expel Salahuddin as a "hard one", sources close to Dar said that Hizb leaders in the valley were left with no option but to expel "the leaders sitting across the border" and only "narrating what had been fed to them." And never getting shot. Don't forget that part. "By terming Dar and other leaders of Hizb, who have sacrificed the comfort of their life for the Kashmir cause, as traitors, they (Pakistan-based Command Council of Hizb) have insulted each and every Kashmiri," the sources said. The Hizbul Mujahideen sources said this had left the group with no other option than to expel Salahuddin and other leaders of the outfit, who were "speaking the language of their masters who had been milking the Kashmir cause for their own benefit." By golly! It is! It's a counter-excommunication. Get the bell, the book, the candle... |
