Muzaffarabad, Oct 27: The Chairman of United Jihad Council (UJC) Syed Salahuddin on Wednesday warned that unrelenting atrocities in Jammu and Kashmir could compel thousands of people in Pakistan administered Kashmir (PaK) to cross the Line of Control en masse to help their oppressed brethren.
 “The unprecedented repression in Kashmir is testing our patience. If there is no let up, we can give the call to break the bloody dividing line with peoples’ power any time,” Salahuddin said while speaking at an “Azm-e-Azadi Conference” here.
 The event which coincided with the 63rd anniversary of Indian troops landing in Kashmir was addressed by several heads of UJC constituents, who admonished the international community to break its ‘silence’ towards Kashmiris’ ongoing non-violent struggle.
 While expressing their all out support to the ongoing movement, they paid rich tributes to the Kashmiris, particularly youngsters, for braving worst ever repression of their history.
 Salahuddin, who is also the supreme commander of Hizbul Mujahideen, made it clear that militancy had not stopped in Kashmir but it had been restricted to the areas away from civilian populations.
 “Militant actions will continue until the goal is achieved. There won’t be any compromise on it,” he declared.
 The UJC chief ruled out division of JK, saying Jammu and Kashmir was an indivisible entity and its oneness would be safeguarded. “Let me declare that first of all Doda, Rajouri and Poonch will be liberated and then Kupwara, Baramulla (Varmul) and Budgam,” he said, referring to three each towns from Jammu and Valley, respectively.
 Expressing gratitude to the Chinese government for its stand on Kashmir, he said: “We hope that Beijing will play a pivotal role in early resolution of Kashmir issue in accordance with the aspirations of the Kashmiris.”
 The head of Lashkar-e-Taiba, Maulana Abdul Wahid Kashmiri, who was also among the speakers, said fighter groups were weighing up international community’s response towards the situation in Kashmir.  “We are waiting to see how India and the rest of the world respond to the calls of oppressed and unarmed Kashmiris,” he said.
 Mufti Asghar of Jaish-e-Muhammad also vowed to carry on the armed struggle while reaffirming support to Kashmiris.
 Later, the militant leaders also led a rally which marched some 500 metres through a main artery before dispersing off peacefully.  
 Separately, hundreds of activists of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), led by veteran leader Amanullah Khan, also staged a rally in Muzaffarabad which culminated in the border town of Chakothi.
 Back in Muzaffarabad, PaK Prime Minister Sardar Attique Ahmed Khan and some of his cabinet ministers addressed a big gathering of government employees and ruling Muslim Conference workers whereas former premier Raja Farooq Haider and his colleagues addressed separate public meetings.
 Federal minister of state for information Samsam Bukhari and PPAJK leaders and workers made a human chain in Chakothi while the PPAJK president Chaudhry Abdul Majeed led a rally of his party workers in Tetrinote to express solidarity with the Kashmiris.           
 Peoples Muslim League also brought out a small rally to condemn Indian invasion of Kashmir, which was led by its media adviser Khawaja Atif Bashir.
