Alleged links between Fitna al-Khawarij, India and the banned Awami Action Committee have surfaced. Connections between Khariji Shehzad, who is alleged to be active on behalf of India’s intelligence agency RAW and Fitna al-Khawarij from Afghanistan, and the banned Joint Awami Action Committee have reportedly come to light.
A video and audio recording attributed to Khariji Shehzad have surfaced, in which he is seen reading what is described as an Indian-prepared narrative from Afghanistan and issuing instructions to the banned Joint Awami Action Committee. While reading the prepared statement, Khariji Shehzad allegedly said that the banned Joint Awami Action Committee wanted to secure freedom from Pakistan through protests, which he described as their right.
Khariji Shehzad further stated that future developments regarding the State of Pakistan and their consequences would soon become apparent to everyone.
An audio call allegedly involving Khariji Shehzad and a leader of the banned Joint Action Committee has also surfaced. According to the claim, the conversation concerns plans to spread unrest and postpone elections.
According to the leaked audio, Khariji Shehzad is allegedly encouraging the mobilization of workers for disruptive activities in Azad Kashmir. The audio further suggests opposition to the conduct of elections, with participants allegedly stating that they would oppose the electoral process and prevent it from taking place.
Khariji Shehzad is also heard allegedly advocating the use of force and militancy to restore a Kashmiri military force and involve all Kashmiris in matters related to independence and other issues.
According to experts cited in the report, the wavering tone of the statement and its alleged Indian authorship indicate that plans for unrest and instability are being pursued with Indian backing. They argue that Khariji Shehzad’s support for violent activities allegedly carried out at India’s behest reflects the justification behind the decision to ban the Joint Awami Action Committee.
The report describes Fitna al-Khawarij as a terrorist group allegedly supported by India and claims that its support for the banned Joint Action Committee has exposed India’s intentions. It further states that the public alignment of Fitna al-Khawarij with the banned Joint Action Committee demonstrates India’s frustration over the failure of its objectives in Azad Kashmir.
