Hizbul Mujahedeen militant commander Zakir Musa today strongly reacted to Hurriyat Conference’s statement that Kashmir is political struggle. The Hizbul Mujahedeen commander has said that Kashmir’s fight is for establishing Islamic Shariat and if the Hurriyat leaders will become roadblock in it, their heads will be chopped off and hung in the Lal Chowk for interfering in the militant group's "struggle for Islam".
“If it is not a Islamic struggle, then why you call Mujahids your own and participate in their funerals? Shut your politics”, Zakir is heard saying in the over five-minute audio clip.
“I want to ask them (Hurriyat) why are you using mosques for this politics. Then sit on road and stage dharnas…why are you attending funerals of mujahids (militants)”, Musa said in an audio message, which has gone viral on social media. The message is in Urdu.

In clip the militant leader is heard saying that the Hurriyat leaders have pinned hopes on United Nations and International Community. “They are political leaders. They are not Islamic leaders. They cannot be our leaders. If they have to run their politics, they shouldn’t become throne in our way to Shariat. Otherwise, we will cut their neck and hung them in Lal Chowk. I am warning these people, if they again try to become throne in our road to Shariat, then they would be first to be hung.”
“Kashmir’s war is for Islam, particularly the war of Mujahids. We will implement Islamic Shariat. Don’t try to become a road block,” Musa has said.

The threat is the first against the Hurriyat leadership.
On Monday, three separatist leaders in the Kashmir valley, Syed Ali Geelani, Mohammad Yasin Malik and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, said the region’s separatist movement was indigenous and it had nothing to do with “global (jihadi) movements” like ISISI.
In a joint statement separatists had denounced any attempt to change the “dimension” of Kashmir’s separatism.
The separatists had said that intelligence agencies were attempting to defame Kashmir’s separatist movement and had devised a “dangerous plan of changing its indigenous character”.
They said organisations “like the ISIS have no role” in the region and appealed to political and militant organisations to isolate those individuals who were being used to promote “India’s plan”.
