Put activities on hold, Jehad Council tells militants

SRINAGAR: The United Jehad Council on Saturday asked militants to put on hold their activities in the Kashmir Valley. This comes in the wake of heightened demands for “Azadi.”

Kashmir News Service, a local news agency quoted Syed Salahuddin, head of the UJC, a 13-member amalgam of militant organisations, as asking separatist politicians to pass a resolution for “freedom” and limit their struggle to achieving the goal of “right to self- determination.”

“The UJC has unanimously decided to silence the guns in Kashmir. We have decided that no active militant will display weapons in public during the rallies and marches,” KNS quoted Salahuddin, who is operating from Muzaffarabad, capital of PoK.
