Syed Salahuddin, chief of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), was quoted as saying in a statement that the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) had "assumed the shape of a failed organisation" because it failed to deal with Kashmir’s reality. "The reason for this failure is that the SAARC wants to create an unrealistically optimistic environment by pushing the realities of history and those on the ground into the background," said Salahuddin in a written statement from Muzaffarabad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK).

On January 17, addressing a joint session of parliament, President Musharraf called for a Jihad (holy war) against extremism that he said was one of four "dangerous allegations" facing the country, and urged parliamentarians to prove themselves worthy of shouldering important responsibilities. The other such allegations cited by him were militants operations in Afghanistan, cross-border terrorism in Kashmir and nuclear weapons proliferation. The President said that Pakistan had to counter these "negative impressions" by fighting foreign elements operating from its tribal areas bordering Afghanistan, seeking a peaceful, just solution of the Kashmir dispute and assuring the world that Islamabad would not allow nuclear proliferation. President Pervez Musharraf also vowed to further strengthen country's nuclear and missile deterrent while pursuing the goal of a moderate, welfare Islamic state.

According to the Daily Times, there is a ban on seeking donations for jihad in Pakistan, but several jihadi groups plan to collect the hides of animals sacrificed on Eid-ul-Azha (Muslim Festival) for their cause. An estimated three million animals were sacrificed last year for Eid. The net value of the hides of these animals was an estimated Rupees 1.8 billion. The report added that the banned Tehrik-e-Khuddam-ul-Islam (TKI) had assigned workers to contact sympathisers on Eid and get them to donate hides. The banned Jamaat-ul-Fuqra and Millat-e-Islamia, and other groups like the Al Badr and Tehrik-ul-Mujahideen that are not banned but are believed to have links with jihadis, have similar plans. The Al-Rasheed Trust, an organisation not banned in Pakistan but on the United States "terror list", collected roughly Rupees 40 million worth of hides last year. The trust’s publications, the Daily Islam and weekly Zerb-e-Momin, are urging readers to donate hides to the trust this Eid.
