Enjoying Pakistan’s full backing, Salahuddin declares he has carried out terror ops in India

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Just about a week after being declared a global terrorist by US, Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin told Geo TV, a Pakistani TV channel, that he has carried out terrorist attacks in India and he could strike India at any time.

Pakistan had slammed US designation of Salahuddin as a global terrorist, calling it “completely unjustified”. “The designation of individuals supporting the Kashmiri right to self-determination as terrorists is completely unjustified,” it had said.

Salahuddin is wanted in more than 50 terror cases including assassinations, abduction, attacks on security forces, and hawala funding in India. His outfit Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) has claimed responsibility for several attacks in India in the past, including the April 2014 explosives attack in J&K which injured 17 people.

The US designated Salahuddin as a ‘global terrorist’ on June 26, hours ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s first meeting with US President Donald Trump in Washington. The US State Department had said: “Department of State has designated Mohammad Yusuf Shah, also known as (AKA) Syed Salahuddin, as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) under Section 1(b) of Executive Order (E.O.) 13224, which imposes sanctions on foreign persons who have committed, or pose a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism that threaten the security of US nationals or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States. .”

The state department’s notification said that Salahuddin-led HM “has claimed responsibility for several attacks” including the April 2014 explosives attack in Kashmir, which injured 17 people. He has also time and again vowed to block any peaceful resolution to the Kashmir conflict and threatened to train more Kashmiri suicide bombers, the state department said.

The US state department’s notification stated that all Americans are now “generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with Salahuddin and all of Salahuddin’s property and interests in property subject to United States jurisdiction are blocked”.

Salahuddin rejected US charges, calling himself a freedom fighter and not a terrorist. He vowed to continue fighting for the ‘liberation’ of Kashmir.

At a rally in Pakistan occupied Kashmir’s (PoK) Muzaffarabad on Saturday, Salahuddin called US President Donald Trump “crazy” for the action against him. He also called the Trump administration “idiotic”, saying it was “a gift to (Indian Prime Minister Narendra) Modi”. “Donald Trump’s decision will be thrown out if anyone challenges it in American courts. No other Western nation has endorsed what this crazy Donald Trump has done,” Salahuddin said.

“The US cannot provide a single example of when I and other Kashmiri fighters committed any act of terrorism,” he said, addressing the media at the Centre Press Club in Muzaffarabad. “Kashmiri freedom fighters have a code of conduct to not harm minorities, the elderly, children and women, and if sometimes the enemy offers a peace deal, we accept it.”

“This (the Trump administration’s) idiocy can neither weaken our courage, nor stop the freedom struggle and the target-oriented actions of freedom fighters,” Salahuddin added

In the interview with Geo TV, Salahuddin said, “Till now our focus was on Indian occupation forces. All the operations that we have done or are underway, we focus only on the installations of these occupational forces.”

Salahuddin described Kashmir as ‘home’, and said Burhan Wani’s death last year has triggered an uprising in the Valley. After Wani was killed in an encounter with security forces last July, Salahuddin had vowed to turn the state into “a graveyard for Indian forces”.

“If we would have taken our operations out of Kashmir at that time, India would get a chance to label Kashmir-e-Tehreek a terrorist organisation. We have support and we can target any place in India, at any time,” he said, during the interview. He explained that the international scene has changed since 9/11.

He added he purchases weapons from the international market.

Cases against Syed Salahuddin:

Hizbul Mujahideen chief Mohammad Yousuf Shah alias Syed Salahuddin, declared a ‘Specially Designated Global Terrorist’ by the US, is wanted in more than 50 terror cases including assassinations, abduction, attacks on security forces, and hawala funding in India.

In some cases, charge sheets have been filed and investigations are on in others but progress in these cases has been tardy since Salahuddin has been absconding, based as he is in PoK since 1993.

According to the police, he has been declared as a proclaimed offender in a Rs 80 crore terror funding case by a special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in 2013.

There is also an Interpol Red Notice pending against Salahuddin who is also the head of the United Jihad Council, an umbrella group of over a dozen terrorist outfits based in PoK.

He is wanted include the killing of Superintendent of Police Mohammad Amin Khan in August 2012. There were seven accused, including Salahuddin in the case.

Salahuddin’s brush with law began in 1987, the year he contested the Assembly polls, widely believed to have been rigged. He contested elections from Amira Kadal, a constituency in Srinagar, on the ticket of Muslim United Front — an amalgam of different political and religious organisations. He lost to National Conference stalwart late Ghulam Mohidin Shah. Later, he was booked for seditious speech under the Terrorist and Disruptive Act, 1987 (the case was registered in 1987). But by the time the charge sheet for the case was filed in 1997, Salahuddin had crossed over into PoK and had become the HM chief.

Salahuddin is wanted in the 2002 attack on People’s Democratic Party workers in which three cops and one terrorist were killed in Budgam district of central Kashmir. The case has been charge sheeted without any further progress.

Salahuddin is also wanted in the tourist bus attack in 2006 in Srinagar. According to police, grenades were hurled at a tourist bus in Lal Chowk on the instructions of Salahuddin, resulting in injuries to a few tourists.

Police have registered numerous cases against Salahuddin for threatening Panchs and Sarpanchs besides calling for the poll boycott to derail democracy in Jammu and Kashmir.

According to a NIA chargesheet, Salahuddin in 1999 chaired a meeting of Hizbul’s Markazi Majlis-e-Shura, a top body of its decision making, in connivance with the agencies of Pakistan-founded Jammu Kashmir Affectees Relief Trust (JKART) – a frontal organisation of HM. The objective was to raise funds from Pakistan and other countries in the name of relief for rehabilitation of affected persons in Jammu and Kashmir and use it for furthering terrorist activities in India.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Amaal Mallik addresses mental health and family estrangement

Singer-composer Amaal Mallik, known for his work in Bollywood music, has taken down a deeply personal social media post in which he opened up about his clinical depression and a difficult relationship with his family. In a fresh statement issued on Instagram, he addressed the media and public reaction to his earlier post and urged for sensitivity during what he described as a “very tough time.”

In his new message, Amaal Mallik wrote,
“Thank you for the love and support, it truly means a lot, but I would request the media portals not to harass my family.. Please don’t sensationalise and give negative headlines to my vulnerability…It’s a request. It’s taken a lot for me to open up & it is a very tough time for me…I will always love my family, but for now, from afar. Nothing changes between us brothers, Armaan and I are one, and nothing can come between us. Love & Peace.”

The clarification followed the deletion of an earlier post in which Mallik shared that he had been clinically diagnosed with depression. He also revealed that despite composing 126 songs in his decade-long career, he felt undervalued, particularly by his family.

In the now-deleted post, Mallik spoke about strained ties with his brother Armaan, which he attributed to actions by their parents. He indicated that he would be maintaining only professional relations with his family going forward, stating that their behaviour had impacted his mental health and self-esteem.

An excerpt from his deleted post read:
“The journey has been terrific for both of us but the actions of my parents have been the reason we as brothers have gone too far from one another and all of this has made me step in for myself as it has left a very deep scar across my heart. Through the last many years, they have left no opportunity to disturb my well-being and belittle all my friendships, my relationships, my mindset, my self-confidence.”

He further admitted that while he holds himself accountable for his own actions, he felt repeatedly diminished by those closest to him, contributing significantly to his deteriorating mental health.

As the industry and fans react to Amaal’s honesty, the singer has requested that his vulnerability be met with compassion, not sensationalism. His heartfelt appeal seeks to redirect focus toward healing rather than headlines.

Choreographer and influencer Dhanashree Verma released a powerful new music video titled Dekha Ji Dekha Maine on the same day her divorce from Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal was legally granted by a family court in Mumbai. The emotionally charged track, launched under the T-Series banner, highlights themes of betrayal, domestic abuse, and emotional trauma within a royal marital setup.

The video stars Dhanashree alongside actor Ishwak Singh, known for his role in Pataal Lok. Set against a traditional Rajasthani backdrop, the visuals depict Verma as a woman enduring infidelity and physical violence from her husband. One scene shows her character being slapped in public, while another captures the husband engaging intimately with another woman in her presence.

The lyrics, penned by Jaani, cut deep. Lines such as “Dekha ji dekha maine, apno ka rona dekha. Gairon ke bistar pe, apno ka sona dekha” and “Dil tera bacha hai, nibhana bhool jata hai. Naya khilauna dekh ke, purana bhool jata hai” reflect the anguish of betrayal and emotional neglect in a relationship.

Sung by Jyoti Nooran, with music composed by Jaani, the song presents a striking narrative layered with raw emotion. Speaking about her role, Dhanashree said, “This was one of the most emotionally charged performances I’ve been a part of… It demanded a certain level of intensity, and I hope it resonates deeply with the audience.”

The release coincided with her official separation from Yuzvendra Chahal, whom she married in December 2020. As per reports, Chahal has agreed to pay an alimony of ₹4.75 crore as part of the divorce settlement.

Sambhal Court issues notice to Rahul Gandhi over fight against Indian state comment

Rahul Gandhi has been summoned by a Sambhal court over his statement that the opposition is fighting the Indian state, not just BJP or RSS.

Rahul Gandhi addresses public at party headquarters

The District Judge Court of Sambhal has issued a notice to Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, seeking his response or appearance on April 4, in connection with a complaint filed over his controversial remark that opposition parties were not merely fighting the BJP or RSS, but the “Indian state” itself.

Statement triggers legal action

The legal proceedings stem from a statement made by Rahul Gandhi on January 15, during the inauguration of the Congress party’s new headquarters ‘Indira Bhawan’. In his address, Gandhi said, “Our ideology, like the RSS ideology, is thousands of years old, and it has been fighting the RSS ideology for thousands of years. Do not think that we are fighting a fair fight. There is no fairness in this. If you believe that we are fighting a political organisation called the BJP or RSS, you have not understood what is going on. The BJP and the RSS have captured every single institution of our country. We are now fighting the BJP, the RSS and the Indian State itself.”

He also commented on the status of Indian institutions and media, suggesting that both were no longer functioning freely or fairly.

Revision petition leads to court summons

Advocate Sachin Goyal, representing complainant Simran Gupta, explained that a case was initially filed in the special MP/MLA court seeking registration of an FIR against Gandhi. However, the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) dismissed the plea citing lack of jurisdiction.

Following this, a revision petition was filed, after which the Sambhal District Judge accepted the complaint and issued a notice to Rahul Gandhi. The court has asked him to either appear in person or file a formal response on or before April 4.
