'Kashmir

solution lies

in Jehad'

From a Correspondent

MUZAFFARABAD: Giving reaction to the address of US President Bill Clinton to the nation on TV and Radio, Mujahideen organisations on Sunday once again declared the Jehah the only way to liberate Kashmir and showed strong opposition to negotiations on Kashmir between India and Pakistan.

Amir Harkatul Mujahideen Maulana Farooq Kashmiri in his comments on American President Bill Clinton's speech, said on Sunday that only Jehad will resolve this issue. He claimed that Clinton's address was based on Indian prime minister Vajpayee's briefing to him on Kashmir and added it would have been better if Clinton announced his Kashmir policy by listening both side view-points.

Farooq said, however, we are happy that Pakistan treated Clinton on equal terms.

Farooq Kashmiri while reacting to Pervez Musharraf's statement that he would ask the Mujahideen organisations to reduce activities in occupied Jammu and Kashmir if India reduces its armed forces there, he said our Jehad is against Indian atrocities which would continue till their presence there.
