Al-Qayeda and ISIS terror groups have nothing to do with Kashmir Freedom Struggle, says LeT

Srinagar: Militant outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba Thursday said that India is trying to label the legitimate freedom struggle of Kashmir as terrorism by implying terror groups like Al-Qayeda and ISIS into the Valley.
Mehmood Shah, the LeT Chief said that Ajit Doval’s doctrine is up to this conspiracy. “We would like to inform the masses that the militant groups, with their mutual understanding and unity, are fighting against Indian forces. On the other hand, groups such as Al-Qayeda and ISIS are being brought up to label the legitimate freedom struggle as terrorism. Al-Qayeda and ISIS thrive on Takfeer. All they have done has just greatly affected the Muslims and brought upon them the Injustice, brutality and oppression. This conspiracy is far more dangerous than that of India’s.”
As per the statement issued to local news gathering agency CNS, Mehmood Shah said that
India has lost its war on Kashmir. “The Indian conspiracies are being foiled ever since the locals and Hurriyat leaders forged unity amongst themselves. India is trying to collapse this alliance but by grace of God, we will not let it happen at any cost,” he said.
“LeT strongly condemned the illegal arrests of Hurriyat leader Shabbir Shah, Mushtaq-ul-Islam, Masarat Alam, Aasia Andarabi, Dr. Muhammad Qasim Faktu and others and declare such shameful act as human rights violation. India is trying to compensate its defeat by imposing violence on innocent Kashmiris. Thousands of children orphaned, women raped, while hundreds have been pellet-blinded. Despite these atrocities and our sacrifices, we shall not back down. Our ambitions are high. Our youth is ready to take up arms against Indian rule. India should give up its dream of ever occupying Kashmir. The Freedom is our glory and we shall have it,” the statement reads.
