Pak's Kashmir Committee is impotent: JKLF chief

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal">new delhi: terming the recently constituted kashmir committee headed by sardar abdul qayyum khan as "impotent", jklf chairman amanullah khan has indicated that guest militants or the foreign mercenaries had done more harm to pakistan''s kashmir policy than the indian army, pakistani media reports said. in an article pak weekly <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">the friday times</span>, analysing pakistan''s kashmir policy, said the abduction of <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">wall street journal</span> reporter daniel pearl, and the involvement of banned militant organisation jaish-e-mohammad in his kidnapping have raised some significant questions about pakistan''s kashmir policy and the organisations entrusted with running it.all the bigwigs of kashmiri militant outfits including syed salahuddin of hizb-ul mujahideen have gone underground. phone contacts to these organisations are gone and many have even moved residences and offices in the last month or so. jaish-e-mohammad was probably the last nail in the coffin. the weekly quoted a militant as saying the 1999 indian airlines hijacking, in fact, led to the establishment of a us-indian strategic dialogue on terrorism. and the focus was on groups operating from pakistan. "we had been warning against the irreparable damage to the kashmir cause but no one heard us," it quoted amanullah khan, chief of the jklf, as saying. he argued that the wishful policies pursued by the militants with the approval of the establishment had now forced pakistan to take measures like the creation of an impotent kashmir committee headed by the controversial sardar qayyum khan. </div> </div>
