Srinagar: Following speculations of his death and remaining out of the scene for over a year, Ansar Ghazwatul Hind Chief Zakir Musa has come out of shadows with new audio declaring himself and his organization stronger than ever.

“Many people from both India and Pakistan have joined us. We are stronger than ever. Our numbers have gone up. We will soon restart our operations soon,” Mr. Musa can be heard as saying in a freshly released audio.

In the more than 15-minute audio clip he said that both India and Pakistan with the aid of the United States were trying to end Jihad in Sub-continent.

Mr. Musa has said that only Jihad is the solution of Kashmir issue and no treaty or formula was acceptable to Kashmiris. ” We have made a covenant with Allah that Kashmir will be ruled through Nizam-e-Mustafa. And that if we fail to implement the rule of Allah in our land our fate will be like those of the tribe of prophet lot,” he can be heard as saying in a more than 15-minute audio.

He also added that Pakistani army and government is the biggest enemy of militants in Kashmir, ” The truth is that Pakistani army is the slave of America and are not different from them. They befool militants and more so the militants of Pakistan administered Kashmir, only Allah helps militants succeed.”

While talking about jihad in Afghanistan, Mr. Musa praises the Taliban and asks people to pay heed to the ways of Taliban, “Pray for the Mujahideen and help Jihad and join ranks of Mujahideen. Help Mujahideen through every means possible,” Mr. Musa adds.

He also addresses the Islamic preachers and asks them to not be silent over the atrocities in Kashmir, “Shariah in Kashmir will be imposed only after we fight the Hindu infidels in this Jihad, be pious and seek help from Allah only and follow Islam.”

While addressing the youth he appealed them to stay away from immodesty and maintain prayers. “Remember that nothing other than Jihad is beneficial for us. Whether that is candle march or closing down our own shops and cars. These things are more harmful to us than our enemy. Only Jihad is the way out,” Mr. Musa can be heard addressing the youth in the alleged audio clip.

Mr. Musa also addresses the ‘Jihadis of Pakistan’ asking them what prevents them from performing Jihad in Kashmir, “You will be asked why have you stayed away from Jihad in Kashmir and that your staying away from it has further taken the Kashmir Jihad 30 years backward.”

He further castigates Pakistan saying they have not done anything for the people of Kashmir, “My brothers, understand that when Pakistan was hurt by India last month, they went for all-out war against India, however, they have never felt the pain of Kashmiris. Why did not they fight when India when our brothers and sisters were killed and raped?” He questions.

“Pakistan has no love for people of Kashmir, may Allah save us from the conspiracies of Pakistan and India,” he stresses.

Musa further asks people to beware of the conspiracy of the election, “Remember elections in both India and Pakistan is polytheistic, stay away from elections. Vote is no solution to your issues.”

Addressing the mothers of Muslims of India, Musa asks them to prepare their children for Jihad, ” Before your mosques are razed down. Prepare your sons for Jihad.” he says.

The militant who was an Imam

Bandipora: Mushtaq, Hizbul Mujahideen militant killed in Bandipora on Thursday, was an Imam at a local mosque in Hathlangoo, Sopore, until September 2014, when he was believed to be drowned in the floods. His father Sher-Dil Seer was so surprised by the news of his elder son’s killing at the hands of government forces that it took him 15 minutes to recognise his face: thinned, ill-looking, and without the long beard.

“We thought him dead all these years. But we kept searching for him in every place,” Sher-Dil said, a day after the death of his son.

It never crossed Sher-Dil’s mind that his son may have joined militancy. All that he knew was that Mushtaq had been accused by government forces of delivering provocative sermons in the mosque when he led the prayers there. At one time, Mushtaq was picked up by the police SOG (Special Operation Group) on charges of delivering provocative sermons in the Hathlangoo mosque.

“He was slapped and kept for about 15 days in the SOG camp. The DySP (deputy superintendent of police) of the SOG said at that time that Mushtaq was a boy who could not be a trouble maker,” Sher-Dil said.

Before being arrested by the SOG, Mushtaq had served five years in prison. He was accused of killing his wife after two months of their marriage in 2008. “He was acquitted by the court of all charges,” Sher-Dil said of that case.

“After his release from jail in 2013, Mushtaq became a religious man. He grew a long beard. He had been leading prayers even in the prison,” Sher-Dil said.

After coming out from jail, Mushtaq became an Imam and led prayers in the Hathlangoo mosque.

“After the SOG incident, when he came home, I had a very strong argument with Mushtaq. I told him to not say things which did not go well with the government forces. It was a very heated argument. After that argument, he left home, forever,” Sher-Dil said. “He told his mother that he will go to Srinagar and lead prayers there.”

When the floods hit Srinagar in September 2014, the family began to search for Mushtaq there. “We thought he had drowned in the flood waters. But when his body was not found, we filed an FIR with the police,” Sher-Dil said.

“We looked for him everywhere, but could not find him. I thought, then, that he may have been picked up by the police again and killed. But we kept hearing rumours that he is in Pakistan or somewhere else. I was, however, sure that he was dead.”

Sher-Dil said he was startled to hear news that his son had become a militant. “What did he achieve by this? I had raised him well and put him at school through hard labour,” he said.

Relatives and neighbours came to console Sher-Dil and said that Mushtaq had “achieved the highest place in heaven”. To this, Sher-Dil answered, “Let me get this out of my chest: even the Quran says that killing a human is killing humanity. Call me whatever you like…”

Then Sher-Dil said in a whisper, “Do you know seventy-thousand people attended his funeral.”
Mushtaq has left behind his parents, four brothers and six sisters. One of his sisters died when Mushtaq was in prison.

Thousands of mourners offered funeral prayers for Mushtaq Ahmad Seer at his native village in north Kashmir’s Bandipora district on Friday. Raising pro-freedom and anti-India slogans, men and women walked in a huge procession towards his native village in Malangam to participate in his funeral. Braving the chill and bad weather, hundreds of women sang eulogies for the slain militant, while youth shouted slogans on loudspeakers when Mushtaq was being buried.
