Salahuddin was recently designated as a global terrorist by the United States during Narendra Modi’s visit to Washington DC. However, days after this move, Salahuddin vowed to fight on until India relinquishes control over Jammu and Kashmir.

On being designated as a “global terrorist”, Salahuddin claimed the decision was only made to appease India. The militant leader added that Hizbul Mujahideen only targets Indian forces and that the Islamic State group and al-Qaida have no presence in Kashmir. “Donald Trump’s decision will be thrown out if anyone challenges it in American courts,” Salahuddin said. “No other Western nation has endorsed what this crazy Donald Trump has done,” he added. Salahuddin later led a rally in Muzzafarabad and praised Pakistan for continued support in Kashmir. India accuses Pakistan of backing Kashmir insurgents in the region split between the two nations, a charge Islamabad denies. With inputs from AP
