Engineered: Salahuddin
By B. Muralidhar Reddy
ISLAMABAD, DEC. 13. The United Jehadi Council (UJC) chairman and chief of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, Syed Salahuddin, has alleged that the attack on the Indian Parliament was ``engineered'' by the Indian intelligence agencies.
In a press statement after an emergency meeting of the UJC at Muzaffarabad, capital of Pak.-Occupied Kashmir, Mr. Salahuddin said the attack had two objectives. ``It is meant to pressurise Members of Parliament into adopting the Prevention of Terrorism Ordinance on which the ruling party is engaged in a tug of war with the main Opposition parties. Another aim of the attack is to influence the international coalition on terrorism to bracket the Kashmir freedom struggle with terrorism.''
The statement alleged that the Indian Government had staged similar ``dramas in the past to achieve its narrow objectives''. Mr. Salahuddin said none of the militant outfits were involved in the attack on Parliament House.
