ISI MAGAZINE IS KASHMIRI SEPARATISTS’ PLATFORM
The magazine talks about how India is ‘teetering on the brink of collapse’ because of the ‘67 separatist movements’ going on in the country.
ALahore-based magazine called Invite, which is published by the Falah- e-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF)—a front for Jamaat-ud Dawah, whose chief is Hafiz Muhammad Saeed—is being funded by Pakistan’s ISI as a platform to spread misinformation against India, by giving space to Kashmiri separatists. The aim of the magazine is to spread ISI, as well as Kashmiri separatist propaganda. Security experts say that the magazine is “inspired” by Dabiq, a propaganda magazine which was being brought out by the Islamic State (ISIS) when they were at their peak in 2014-2016.
In its latest edition, “Issue No 04”, Invite has published an article by the Srinagar based hardline separatist leader Asiya Andrabi. She is the chairperson of Dukhtaran-e-Millat (Daughters of Nation), and was recently detained by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on charges of alleged money laundering.
The magazine also carries an editorial on how “67 separatist movements” are going on in India, as a result of which “India was teetering on the brink of collapse”.
In the article titled “Kashmir refuses to surrender”, Andrabi has written that Hafiz Saeed, a terrorist mastermind who carries a reward of $ 10 million on his head and is wanted for his role in the 2008 Mumbai massacre, “has emerged as the beacon of hope” for Kashmiris. She has also written that “Pakistan is dearer to us Kashmiris more than our lives” and that “Indian military leadership and experts assess that they are on the brink of losing Kashmir”. About the violence in the valley she writes “our students are on the roads, our girls have picked up stones and are fighting on the streets”. She adds, “We are sacrificing all what we have. The Kashmiri youth, women, kids and even the elderly are coming out on a daily basis chanting slogans of freedom while suffering severe physical torture. Despite our losses and suffering our morale is high, our faith is strong. We
