JeM pays tribute to Zeenat-ul-Islam, Shakeel Dar

Srinagar: Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) has paid tributes to the militant commander Zeenat-ul-Islam and Shakeel Ahmad Dar who were killed in a gunfight with government forces on Saturday night in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district.

A spokesperson of JeM Mohammad Hassan in a statement issued to GNS hailed the “sacrifices of martyrs” and said, “the year 2019 is the year of freedom for Jammu Kashmir”.

He also paid salutes to the parents of Zeenat-ul-Islam.

He said New Delhi tried its best to suppress the “indigenous freedom struggle” of Kashmiris, but will never succeed in doing so.

“India is facing defeat in all battles. The fundamental reason behind this defeat is the unity among people, freedom fighters and Hurriyat leadership,” he said.

“The nation which stands beside their Mujahideen brethren and buries them in groom’s appearance can never be frightened by death,” the spokesperson chief said, adding, “This relationship is enriched with the faith-based belief and emotions of Islam which India lacks.”

“India must read writing on the wall that it has no place in Kashmir,” the JeM spokesperson said. (GNS)
