Srinagar: Militant commander Zakir Rashid alias Zakir Musa on Saturday disassociated himself from the militant outfit Hizbul Mujahideen hours after Hizb termed his statement on Hurriyat leaders as unacceptable.
In an audio message Zakir has said that he stands by his earlier message.
“After my last audio message, lot of confusion is being spread in Kashmir. I stand by my speech and by my message. It doesnt bother me what others say, but I stand by my speech. But see I have had not said anything against a particular person or Geelani sahab but I have said only against that individual who is against Islam and talks about freedom for secular state.”
I want to make it clear that I am fighting for Islam only but I have nothing to do with ISIS and Al-Qaeda, Zakir said adding In fact I have not made any research about them so far so cannot even reject them categorically, said Zakir.
He said if they (militants) were fighting for freedom for secular state, then he thinks that they (militants) were not martyrs.
“I know we have to first fight for freedom and expel Indian army which has occupied us. But our intention should be that we have to achieve Azadi for Islam, not for secular state. If we are fighting for freedom for secular state then my blood wont be spilled for that purpose. What I said about hanging was not about Hurriyat leaders but moderates who say after Azadi we will make a secular state. Because I know if we get freedom from India then will have to fight those who support secular state,” added Zakir
Zakir said: “So, if Hizbul Mujahideen doesnt represent me then I also dont represent them.
