Lashkar-e-Tayyaba and the Afghan Taliban follow the dictates of Pakistan’s notorious spy agency, ISI, which exploits the various Islamic organisations on the issue of Kashmir for its “despicable personal interests”, a top militant commander has said.
Hafez Saeed Khan, the chief of the ISIS-Khorasan which is a branch of dreaded Middle Eastern group in Afghanistan and Pakistan, said this in an interview to Dabiq — an English magazine published by Islamic State.
“In reality, we’ve seen before how the tawaghit (evil powers) of Pakistan, and specifically their army and intelligence, would exploit the various ‘Islamic’ (Pakistani state-backed jihadi) organisations on the issue of Kashmir for their despicable personal interests,” said Khan, who was recently designated as a global terrorist.
“They also exploited the zeal of the people of Kashmir for the sake of their own interests, not out of any concern for the affairs of the Muslims, nor for the sake of establishing Allah’s law in the land. And how would they establish Allah’s law over there when they don’t even establish it in their own lands!” the ISIS commander lashed.
Saeed said that the degree of Pakistani ‘interests’ always fluctuates back and forth, doing so especially in the last years, until the people of Kashmir hit a roadblock and there was no one to save them from the quagmire into which they were thrown.
“Because of this, many of Kashmiris and members of the other terrorist organisations have joined ISIS,” he claimed, adding that there is a “big opportunity” for ISIS to expand in Kashmir.
