Prominent freedom leader and the Chairman of United Jihad Council (UJC), Syed Salahuddin has said that the Indian agencies are targeting his children and relatives to prevent him from taking part in the freedom struggle.
Syed Salahuddin in a statement said that such attempts could not affect his role in the freedom struggle.
He said, “I am away from my family for past thirty years and the people of Kashmir know that none of my family members has had any association with the financial matter of the struggle.” He also condemned his character assassination by the Indian agencies.
Salahuddin appealed to the High Court Bar Association and the civil society to carry out an independent inquiry into the assets owned by his family. “I appeal to them to compare these assets with those owned by my family thirty years ago so that everything is crystal clear,” he added.
Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference Chairman, Shabbir Ahmed Dar in a statement said that the arrest of Shakeel Ahmed, son of Syed Salahudin, Journalist Asif Sultan, JKML leader Feroz Ahmed Khan and five young men from Poonch showed the fascist mentality of Indian state.
