Who is Syed Salahuiddin?

Before guns and bombs began to rattle the Valley라이브 바카라 landscape, the people used to throng in hordes to hear a religious preacher, their ‘Shah saeb’ on Fridays. The Islamic scholar라이브 바카라 prolific religious sermons on Fridays in those days at Exhibition Ground in Srinagar had become an instant hit among the Valley라이브 바카라 people, particularly with now banned Jamiat-e-Islami (JeI) ideologues.

Mohammad Yusuf Shah, who later became the supremo of Kashmir라이브 바카라 indigenous militant outfit—Hizbul Mujahideen became an instant hit among the people in Kashmir for his thunderous speeches.

Came the elections of 1987 and Shah contested Assembly Elections from Amirakadal Constituency on JeI ticket. It is alleged that the elections were rigged and Shah was made to lose.

In 2017, Salahuddin was designated as a global terrorist by the US State Department after Prime Minister Narendra Modi met then-US President Donald Trump.

The move prohibited US citizens from engaging in transactions with Salahuddin. It also meant attachment of Salahuddin라이브 바카라 property and interests in property under US jurisdiction.

In reaction, Salahuddin stated: “We are not terrorists… Our struggle is for freedom from India and it will continue till the liberation of Kashmir”.

Salahuddin is known to operate out of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Salahuddin led-HM has its political ideology to either merge Kashmir with Pakistan or a separate nation. He is on the NIA라이브 바카라 list of most-wanted men.

Salahuddin has바카라 웹사이트five sons, who live in Kashmir. His wife in Kashmir바카라 웹사이트Taja Begum passed some years back in 2014.바카라 웹사이트His one son Syed Abdul Mueed, who was Manager (Information and Technology) at the Commerce and Industries Department was dismissed from the service by the government last year. While his other two sons—Shahid and Shakeel were also dismissed from the government service.

Former RAW chief AS Dulat in his book, ‘The Vajpayee Years’, mentions,바카라 웹사이트“One of Salahuddin라이브 바카라 big concerns was his son, who had qualified for medical college admission, but in Jammu, not in Srinagar; possibly the grades required for admission for Srinagar were higher. But the boy and his father were desperate that he somehow gets into Srinagar. So Salahuddin reached out to everyone…."

Dulat mentions that the admission was done with the help of the CM and NC leader Farooq Abdullah.

However, HM rebutted Dulat라이브 바카라 claim. Also, Salahuddin라이브 바카라 son Dr Wahid had said, “Allegations바카라 웹사이트were a distortion that sought to malign the image of his father”.

Dr Wahid had said he “was selected on the basis of merit, and the only favour granted was that he was allowed to shift from a Jammu college to Srinagar college because of security concerns”.

Salahuddin who commands a huge respect among the militant ranks had also generated a stir at times.바카라 웹사이트

In 2010, Salahuddin in a quiet ceremony in PoK had married Noor Jehan, the widow of a slain HM commander . It had raised eyebrows within the outfit where such an alliance is considered taboo.

Jehan was the widow of HM district commander Khursheed Ahmed who was killed by security forces in Kashmir in the 1990s. Khursheed was popularly known as Aurangzeb. He hailed from Srinagar라이브 바카라 Rainawari area.

In 2010, when street protests were a common sight in Kashmir, Salahuddin urged Hurriyat to call for an end to protests. This generated a lot of rage with some groups taking out protests against Salahuddin in Srinagar라이브 바카라 downtown.바카라 웹사이트
Salahuddin in the past has also been favourable to dialogue with India with the condition that “sincere efforts” are made.

Post Burhan Wani killing, when protests were rampant in Kashmir, groups of youth carrying placards of Salahuddin used to chant: “…hikmate Salahuddin, Hizbul Mujahideen’(philosophy of Salahuddin, HM)”.바카라 웹사이트
