India-Pakistan
Pak sez Kashmir gunnies are "freedom fighters"
2001-12-18
  • Gen. Rashid Qureshi has accused India of propagating propaganda to rename Kashmiris' freedom struggle as terrorism. "The Kashmiris are fighting for self determination and it has nothing to do with Pakistan except that we provide them moral and diplomatic support which we will continue to do." He said the freedom struggle in Kashmir is not Jihad but a movement for liberation. "The UN also recognises the disputed status of Kashmir. India is always trying to crush the Kashmiris' right to self determination... We have always demanded strict action against the terrorists who spread message of hatred and extremism. If Jihadi organisations are involved in such acts Pakistan will never allow it", he said.
    Quick analysis reveals the balogna content of Qureshi's statements at near 100%. Pakland somehow "allowed" the jihadis to stampede from within its borders to aid and abet the Taliban against the Americans, even while publicly and officially deferring to the heavy artillery. Prior to that the government somehow "allowed" its jihadis to form a significant portion of the Taliban itself. "Kashmiri militants" are usually referred to in the Pak and international press as "jihadis" and they refer to themselves as "jihadis." And then there's the Kargil War, which looked in many ways like a dress rehearsal for the Afghan war.
