PoK: Religious conference to be held to raise funds for terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir

Tehreek-e Itefaq-e-Rai (Movement for Consensus) chairman Dr Amjad Ayub Mirza informed the international media that the purpose of the conference is to raise funds for future terrorist activities in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, reports ANI.

He said by instilling sentiments of Jihad among the PoK youth they are preparing them for recruitment in various jihadi outfits sponsored by Pakistan.

Mirza warned that Pakistan is working on reviving infiltration into the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir in order to conduct acts of terrorism in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

Using the purpose of the conference, the organisers have already begun a massive fund raising campaign in the PoK, said Dr Mirza.

He said that at a time when the whole of the PoK and Gilgit-Baltistan was engulfed in social upheaval caused by gross violations of human rights and economic crisis this conference aims at diverting the youth’s attention from real issues by propagating the finality of Prophet Muhammad and targeting religious minorities.

He said that the PoK government in collaboration with the Pakistan spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is attempting to divert the social anger, demonstrated by youth and civil society in recent months, towards religious fanaticism.

Mirza warned that holding of such events was not in the best interest of the region and should be banned in all parts of PoK and occupied Gilgit-Baltistan.

Mirza told ANI that the Khatam-e-Nabuwat conference organising body is collecting funds openly in the streets and from businesses and shopkeepers in the name of Jihad in Kashmir which is a gross violation of Financial Action Task Forces’ demands regarding terror financing.
