Terrorists threat to Indian leadership

Since the past 2/3 months, all major Pakistan-based terrorist groups have been issuing threats to eliminate Indian leaders and destroy vital installations inside India on the pretext of atrocities on Muslims and their leaders in Kashmir and other parts of the country, desecration of Muslim holy places and the recent military exercises by India. These statements in the backdrop of sporadic terrorist related incidents in the country, especially in Delhi and Lucknow, indicate that besides J&K, these groups are extending their terrorist activities to other parts of the country including Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Junagarh. Terrorist incidents including suicide attacks as well as attempts on the lives of Indianleadership cannot be ruled out in the days to come. Following are the statements and announcements of terrorist groups in this regard;

AL BADR (AB)

Addressing a group of terrorists Shahbaz Cheema Ghazi, Senior Commander Al-Badr (Sargodha, April 25, 2001) reacted sharply to the alleged attack on the office of All Party Huriyat Conference (APHC) by Indian forces and said that they would definitely give a befitting reply to the attempt on the life of APHC leaders in Kashmir. He warned," if any damage is done to the APHC leaders including Ali Gilani, Al-Badr terrorists would eliminate the top brass of the Indian army, S/Shri Advani and Vajpayee (MUJAHIDEEN AL-BADR PHIR ADVANI AUR VAJPAYEE SAMET BHARATI FAUJ KE ALA AFSARON KO ZINDAH NAHIN CHHODENGE).

LASHKAR-E-TOIBA (LeT)

Saifullah Askari, Amir LeT, Kashmir, at a meeting of LeT terrorists (Kotli, April 3, 2001), regretted that Pakistani rulers were playing into the hands of infidel forces of the world. LeT Commander Mazhar Hussain said that it was the need of the hour that terrorists should jointly intensify their fatal strikes against India and form an Islamic state by wiping out the existence of India from the world. (MUJAHIDEEN MIL KAR HINDUSTAN PAR APNI KARI ZARBON KO TEZKARTE HUE IS DUNIYA SE HINDUSTAN KA WAJOOD KHATAM KARKE HUE IS DUNIYA SE HINDUSTAN KA WAJOOD KHATAM KARKE EK ISLAMI MAMALKAT-BANEIN) [JASARAT, DT.4.4.2001]

Hafiz Saifullah Mansoor, Amir MDI Punjab Province, while addressing MDI\LeT Office bearers at Jamia Mosque Qaba, (Islamabad, April 25, 2001) called upon LeT activists to receive Jehadi training and visit every nook and corner of Pakistan to invite Muslim youth for Jehad. Reacting to an announcement by India to send reinforcements after increased LeT suicide terrorist attacks in Kashmir, he announced that LeT was "all set to welcome" Indian reinforcements with more intense attacks. He stated that Kashmir would be converted into a grave yard of Indian Security forces (LASHKAR-E-TAIBA NE AANEWALI FAUJ KA ISTEQBAL FIDAI HAMLON SE KARE GA AUR KASHMIR KO BHARATI FAUJ KE LIYE QABRISTAN BANA DEGA). [AUSAF DT. 26.4.01]

In his speech, Hafiz Abdur Rehman Makki, In-charge MDI Foreign Affairs Wing claimed that if LeT and other terrorist outfits had abandoned Jehad, India would have captured POK also. Commander Abdullah Makki, Amir LeT, Kashmir in his wireless address from the valley claimed that Indian forces and rulers were having sleepless nights because of terrorist attacks. He declared that LeT terrorists would continue to storm Indian Army camps and kill Indian troops (LASHKAR -E-TAIBA KE MUJAHIDEEN CAMPON KE ANDAR DAKHIL HO KAR BHAARTI FOUJION KEE LASHEN TARPATE RAHENGE). They would remain steadfast in the battle field and would sit at peace only after pushing India out of Kashmir.

Speaking on the second day of the Convention (April 14, 2001) MDI and LeT leaders including Mufti Abdur Rehman Rehmani , Qazi MDI Shariah court, Hafiz Abdus Salaam Bhatwi, Head Jamiyah Al Dawa Al Islamia, Maulana Amir Hamzah , Amir MDI Invitation and Reformation wing, Hafiz Abdul Ghaffar Awan, Maulana Abdur Rehman Aabid, Hafiz Saifullah Mansoor, Amir LeT, Sind announced that LeT would, God willing, repeat the history of destruction of Hindu deities in India. They asserted that Prophet Mohd had started destroying statues and Sultan Mehmood Ghaznavi used to attack India time and again to destroy them. They declared that LeT terrorists were determined that they would not retreat unless they hoisted the flag of Islam on Hindu temples in India afterdemolishing them. They described Muslims as one body and called upon them to unite under the leadership of an Amir. They reiterated that LeT was determined to continue the Jehadi tradition of Prophet Mohd and Jehad would continue till doomsday. These faithful to Islam would neither leave Islam nor the traditions of the Prophet, under pressure from any power or Govt.

Spelling out the details of suicide terrorist attacks by LeT in the year 2000, he disclosed that 95 terrorists took part in suicide attacks last year (2000), of which 24 were killed.

[ PAK VERNACULAR PRESS, DT APRIL 10-APRIL 16]

HARKAT-UL-JEHAD-I-ISLAMI (HUJI)

There are indications that HARKAT-UL-JEHAD-I-ISLAMI (HUJI), which had so far confined its terrorist activities to J&K, is likely to extend them to Delhi and other parts of India on the pattern of LeT and JeM. HUJI Commander-in-Chief Mohd Iliyas Kashmiri and other leaders are engaged in condemning India for its alleged atrocities on Muslims and threatening India and Indian leaders of revenge. Kashmiri even warned to crush the US whom he described as ‘a dragon’.

In a statement at Kotli on April 20, 2001, Ilyas Kashmiri declared that unless Islam established its dominance over the evil forces (TAGHOOTI QUWWATON), their valiant struggle would continue. They would take revenge for ‘brutalities’ on all evil forces, including India. He announced that India, inspite of the sympathy and support of the US and Israel, could not save itself from the wrath of the terrorists. He also threatened to teach a lesson to alleged ‘contractors(THEKEDAR) active for the division of Kashmir.’ Describing the US, as a dreaded dragon, he alleged that it wanted to swallow the whole world, but the Muslim youth would eventually crush its head (AMERICA EK KHAUFNAK AZDAHE KI SHAKAL MEIN PURI DUNIYA KO HARAP KARNA CHAHTA HAI LEKIN MILLAT-E-ISLAMIA KE NAUJAWAN IS AZDAHE KA SAR KUCHAL KAR RAKH DENGE).

Earlier, talking to news persons (Kotli, April 17, 2001), he termed the offer of Indian talks as deceitful and ceasefire as an Indian tactic to create a rift between terrorists and Kashmiri people. But terrorists would not let any such conspiracy, under which India could get more opportunities to maintain its occupation of Kashmir and kill Kashmiri people, succeed. He asserted that Jehad was the only solution to the Kashmir issue and that they would concentrate on Jehad and not get involved in talks. He claimed that they would continue their Jehad and India would have to face defeat at the hands of terrorists very soon, just like Russia did in Afghanistan. Reacting to the alleged attack on the APHC office, he alleged that Indian agencies were involved in it. He said that such acts could not affect the liberation movement of Kashmir, which had become the destiny of Kashmiri people . He warned that if India did not abstain from its ‘traditional stubbornness, meanness and barbarity’, the Indian leadership "including terrorists like S/Sh. Vajpayee, Bal Thackeray, Jaswant Singh, K R Narayanan, Jagmohan and Farooq Abdullah" could also be their next target (BHARAT AGAR APNI RAWAYATI HATHDHARMI, KAMINGI AUR DARANDAGI SE BAAZ NAHIN AYA TO BHARATI QAYADAT JIS MEIN VAJPAYEE, BAL THACKREY, JASWANT SINGH, K R NARAYAN, JAGMOHAN AUR FAROOQ ABDULLAH JAISE DEHSHATGARD SHAMIL HAIN WOH HAMARA NISHANA BAN SAKTE HAIN).

He claimed that the Kashmir Jehad had almost attained its goal and India would not be able to maintain its occupation of Kashmir for much longer. Qazi Mohammed Azim, Amir JI, Mandi Bahaouddin, in his address said that as a result of the sacrifices of the HM terrorists, Kashmir would certainly be "liberated from the Hindu beast" and the US, which describes itself as the sole super power, would also disintegrate like the U.S.S.R.[ NAWA-I-WAQT DT.5.5.2000 ]

Fazlur Rehman Khalil taunted the Indian PM by stating "Vajpayee can’t save his cantonments, how can he liberate POK from them. He should instead, pray for the welfare of Delhi". (HUM SE VAJPAYEE APNI CHAWANI TO BACHA NA SAKA AZAD KASHMIR KYA AZAD KARAYEGA. USE AB DELHI KI KHER MANANI CHAHIYE). He asked USA and Europe to keep in mind "that we are not fundamentalists, and it is actually the Hindu Baniya who has crossed all limits in Kashmir". (AMERICA AUR EUROPI MAMALIK SUN LEIN BUNIYAAD PARASAT HUM NAHIN HINDU BANIYA HAI JIS NE BUNIYAAD PARASAT KI AKHRI HAD TAK AGAR KAR DI).[JANG DT. 8.3.2000]

Central Press Secretary MDI Abu Juber in a press release disclosed (Muzaffarabad, 31.2.00) that suicidal missions of LeT were fully prepared to take revenge for the killings in Lanjote. The cost of Sh. Vajpayee’s head had been fixed and that was a dagger. Fourteen Indian soldiers would be beheaded on account of each one killed in Lanjote (VAJPAYEE KE SAR KI KIMAT - EK KHANJAR LAGA DI GAYI HAI. EK SHAHEED KE BADLE CHAUDAH BHARATI FAUJIYON KE SAR UTARE JAYENGE). This revenge will be taken from the Indian army, not Indian citizens, he added.

MDI Amir Hafiz Mohd Saeed addressing a Shohda-e-Islam conference (Haveliya, 5.3.00), said that the US was terrorized more than India from terrorist activities and is sending its teams frequently to pressurize Pakistan to ban the HuM, LeT and other terrorist outfits. He stressed that no govt. could remain stable by banning terrorist outfits. No one could check them from waging Jehad in the name of Allah. He added that even after banning terrorist outfits, Jehad would continue because terrorists had pledged that the flag of Islam would flutter all over the world. Col Nazeer Ahmed and Ghazi Ali Amara also addressed the conference. [NAWA-I-WAQT DT. 6.3.2000]

International Secretary, Jamiat-Ulema-e-Islam, Syed Izhar Bukhari stated (Rawalpindi, 29.2.00) that the deteriorated structure of the whole community would only be set right by embracing the Islamic order, and their tragedy was that they were Muslims in name only, not actions. He added that an example of their extreme cowardice was that the wicked Vajpayee had attacked and beheaded their terrorists and taken away their bodies along with the heads but the Muslims were unable to avenge these killings. He said that they would however give a fitting reply. (HAMARI BUZDILI KI INTEHA YE HAI DUNIYA KA MAKKAR VAJPAYEE SHAB-O-KHOON MARTE HUE HAMARE MUJAHIDEEN KE SAR TAN SE JUDA KAR KE SAATH LE GAYE AUR HUM BADLA BHI NA LE SAKE.

They had told Nawaz Sharif during talks that Jehad was an order of Allah and that their duty was to move ahead and not roll-back. He added that even Russia, the so-called ‘father of India’, could not save itself and disintegrated, and now it was India’s turn.

Muridke Convention of Markaz-uD-Dawa-Wal-Irshad (MDI) of 1999 threatening the US

The Muridke Convention of Markaz-ud-Dawa-wal-Irshad (MDI) has been an annual feature. However, in 1999, Nawaz Sharif, the then Prime Minister of Pakistan, had banned the Convention. Saifullah Qasoori, Chairman, Daawat-o-Islah, wrote in an article in December 1999 that the Nawaz government, prior to its fall, had arrested a large number of terrorists and raided the offices of jehadis. However, those hatching conspiracies were dethroned and put behind bars. General Musharraf usurped power in October that year. Thanks to his generosity, the MDI convention was permitted and was ultimately held on November 4-6, 1999. Delegates from Kashmir, Bosnia, Philippines, Myanmar, Chechnya, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UK, France, USA and Afghanistan attended the convention. Special lectures were delivered on Hinduism and its effects, Jehadi movements, democracy as an evil system, etc.

The three-day MDI Convention was attended by over 500,000 people. The main feature of the convention(1999) was that more than 10,000 terrorists participated and displayed their weapons openly. For three days, speakers after speaker indulged in rhetoric of hatred towards all religions other than Islam and glorification of Jehad. Hafiz Mohd. Saeed, Amir, MDI, urged General Musharraf to support Jehad for liberation of Kashmir and said that those who betrayed Jehad would not be allowed to live in Pakistan. He claimed that India would disintegrate and called the USA as the biggest terrorist. He also urged General Musharraf to work fearlessly without succumbing to US pressure. He also lauded the Jehadi activities and said that the terrorists had demonstrated their ability totarget the Prime Minister’s Office. The last day of the Convention was also attended by Hamid Gul, former ISI Chief.

Militants Rhetoric in Post September 11 Scenario

Militant outfits and religious groups which were accustomed to using aggressive and malicious language against India and the West, particularly the US and Israel, threatens to kill Indian leaders and predict destruction of India and the US, which according to them are infidels as well as evil and satanic forces targeting Islam and the Muslim all over the world, gradually toned down their rhetoric against these countries in the aftermath of the Sep 11 terrorist attack on the US fearing American back lash. They, however, continue to curse the US and its allies. October 2001 saw them fully focussed on the Afghan war and strongly condemning Musharraf for selling out Pakistan to the US. Hafiz Mohd Saeed, Amir LET and his associates alone organise about 350 gatherings throughout Pakistan from Sep 11 to Dec 30, 2002 to mobilise Pak public opinion in favour of the Taliban and keep the sagging morale of Let militants high. JeM Supremo Masood Azhar’s tone and tenor, only confined to JeM monthly, had been very harsh towards the US and its allies. He described them as murderers and predators and announced that the great war between the infidels and Islam had begun. However, he avoided any public rhetoric.

They continue to be optimistic about the victory of Taliban till the end of this year, claiming that the US would also meet the same fate of the erstwhile Soviet Union. They described Taliban’s surrender as a strategic move. Militant groups that remained committed to Kashmir were Hizbul Mujahideen, Al Badr, Lashkar-e-Islam, Harkat-ul-Jehad-Islami and Tehrik-ul-Mujahideen. However, Hizbul Mujahideen has been in in the forefront in this regard. Javed Qasoori, Dy Supreme Commander HM was seen taking the lead in criticising India and the US on the Kashmir and Afghanistan issues. Syed Salahuddin, HM Sypremo though talked of the liberation of Kashmir, he restricted himself from using fiery language. He claimed that power corridors of Washington, New Delhi and Tel Aviv were trembling due to the Jehadi movements and in his speeches Kashmir figured least. Shifting focus to Kashmir, Hafiz Mohd Saeed indicated that LeThad plans to increase militant activities and open new fronts, also warned to launch Red Fort type attacks in India to revive the Kashmir issue.

Despite reported ban on the publications and web sites of the militant groups, Al-Dawaa for the month of March 2002 is available and Jad’s web still operational. JI’s fortnightly Jehad-e-Kashmir is also available. LeT has changed its strategy with regard to its claims. It has stopped revealing the parentage and domicile of the LeT militants killed in J&K, so that it could escape charges of terrorism in J&K . About 70 LeT militants from Pakistan were killed in last three months of Jan, Feb and March 2002. Al-Dawaa published their names, not their domicile. Only one report published in Jasarat, dt. 6.4.02 speaks of killing of a LeT militant of Pakistani origin in J&K on March 14,2002.

LeT’s activities continuing unabated is proved by the fact that during the last week of March 2002, militants carried out 7 attacks including 2 suicide attacks on the Indian forces. It revealed that two suicide bombers Abu Aqasha and Abu Harira, active in Tauheed Ganj area of Baramullah had killed a Major along with6 soldiers in Baramullah.

He asked them to get united for Jehad and start an organized struggle for their rights. He expressed the hope that several armed separatist movements would emerge soon in Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh.

Contrary to Saeed’s restrained rhetoric Al-Daawa, spits usual venom against infidels, particularly Hindu. saying that the US and western countries have failed in hiding their evil approach towards Islamic Jehadi movements, it claimed that Jehad had emerged strong and Mujahideen were moving ahead every where whether it was Palestine or Kashmir or the Taliban movement. It stressed that Allah has described Qasas ( murder in exchange of murder/ Islamic punishment) as life, it said that it was essential to take revenge of the repression committed on the Muslims.
