Srinagar, Nov 17: Mahmood Shah, Chief Lashkar-e-Taiba, clarified that Majid Arshad Khan was permitted to leave for his home on the request of his mother, since he was the only guarantor to his household.
In an e-mailed statement issued to KNS, LeT spokesman, Dr Abdullah Ghaznawi while quoting the outfit chief, Mahmood Shah as saying that “Lashkar-e-Taiba has never sought violence or barbarism. The current development is enough evident to this claim.”
“The freedom struggle of Kashmir is being brought-up by the sacrifices of whole nation and if one mother calls upon his son to get back to her, we will respect her decision. But the world must witness the barbarism and violence imposed on the household of Majid Arshad Khan for the ‘crime’ of standing up against illegal Indian occupation.”
“The family members were threatened to death by Indian forces, in reaction to which his mother requested him to come back, we respected the mother’s call. If, under any circumstances, Majid is martyred by police under the disguise of fake encounter, then the sons of the very police officers will bear severe consequences,” he said.
