Was in touch with former Pak PM Nawaz Sharif, ISI and Hafiz Saeed: Arrested Kashmiri separatist leader Asiya Andrabi
Asiya Andrabi, leader of Kashmir based all-women outfit Dukhtaraan-e-Milat (DeM), told National Investigation Agency (NIA) that she was in regular touch with former prime minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif, his former foreign policy adviser Sartaz Aziz, high commission officials in Delhi, former ISI chief Hamid Gul other then global terrorists - Hafiz Saeed and Syed Salahuddin to discuss freeing 'Kashmir' from India.
TOI exclusively accessed the interrogation report of 56-year-old chief of DeM, who is facing NIA investigation for helping terrorists, their alleged funding, provocative speeches and related anti-India activities.
She discloses that she sent a letter to Nawaz Sharif in 2014 stating, "Pakistan is not doing anything for Kashmir". Sharif replied to her saying, "We are doing our best".
Later, on November 28, 2015 when her mother died, Nawaz Sharif sent her a condolence letter through post.
During her one-to-one meetings with Sartaz Aziz, then Pakistan high commissioner in India Abdul Basit and Deputy high commissioner Syed Haidar Shah- whose name was saved by Andrabi in her mobile as 'Beta Haidar'- at Pakistan high commission in Delhi in 2014, she told them that Pakistan was taking Kashmir issue casually".
She was informed by Pakistani officials that there is a Kashmir Committee in Pakistan looking after the issue and sought suggestions from her on what should be done.
During her conversations with Hafiz Saeed, which took place on regular basis, Andrabi told him to "pressurise Pakistan government since you are powerful person there". She spoke to the Lashkar-e-Taiba chief at the time of his wife Umi Talha's death, his nephew Abdul Rehman Makki's death, Kashmir floods, after the killing of Burhan Wani and several other occasions.
Saeed's first wife - Umi- was also in regular touch with Andrabi in an all-female group named 'Dukhtaraan-e-Taiba' where they mostly discussed personal issues. Umi Talha died in 2016.
She further disclosed that Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin too called her regularly. "She even asked him to convince Pakistan government to talk to the United Nations (UN) on Kashmir issue," reads her interrogation report.
"Salahuddin once called me to pass on a message to Syed Ali Shah Geelani (Hurriyat chief) that his son-in-law Altaf Ahmad Shah and Hurriyat spokesperson Ayaz Akbar are getting closer to him, leaving no space for others. I conveyed the message to Geelani sahib, but he denied it (charge of Salahuddin)," she tells NIA.
Salahuddin's wife Noor Jahan also interacted with her. Jahan, who is a Kashmiri, married Salahuddin in 2009. Interestingly, Asiya Andrabi had warned Noor about not marrying Salahuddin.
Her interrogation has further revealed that she regularly addressed, through Skype or WhatsApp audio messages, the events organised in the United States or London by "Friends of Kashmir" Group or "Tehreek-e-Kashmir" or at Pakistan consulates abroad.
Andrabi justified stone pelting at Indian forces as she claims that India and its forces are "satan".
