Srinagar/April,8: Muzaffarabad-based United Jihad Council (UJC) on Saturday said that the gunmen, who appeared at the grave of Hizb militant Naseer Pandit in Kareemabad village of south Kashmir’s Pulwama district, don’t belong to any militant outfit.
After offering a “gun-salute” on the death anniversary of Pandit, the gunmen had made remarks against Pakistan and the neighbouring country’s flag.
Local news gathering agency KNS, quoting UJC spokesman Syed Sadaqat Hussain said “The gunmen who pretend themselves as militants don’t belong to any militant outfit and have been identified.”
“The statement made by the group against Pakistani nation and flag and support and praising Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) reflects their intentions. It also reflects whose agenda they are carrying forward,” the UJC spokesman added.
He said, “The group tried to create confusion among the militants and the people. We warn them of dire consequences in case they won’t stop carrying out such activities.”
Sadaqat said, “TTP has been and is being used by enemies of Islam. They are involved in the killings of thousands of innocents.”
