The father of Adil Ahmad Dar who drove his explosive laden car into a convoy of Indian paramilitary Forces, killing 49 of them and himself in the deadliest attack in the Kashmir Valley on 14 February has said that he is proud of his son.
Ghulam Hassan Dar, in an interview with The Independent has said that he searched his son everywhere in March last year, when he went missing, but could not find him anywhere.
A month later, an image was pasted on Facebook confirming that he had joined Militancy in kashmir. Dar had joined Jaish e Muhammad, an armed Islamist group that seeks to force India from its half of Kashmir.
In this interview, he told The Independent, that he feels “extremely sad” for the families of the paramilitary officers killed by his son. “I am sorry for the loss of lives, I know how they are feeling,” to have lost their sons, he insists.
“This is the struggle for freedom [for Kashmir],” he says. “We cannot tell them [the militants] that they are on the wrong path. The real villains are the politicians who are playing politics with Kashmir, and this leads to violence.buy aygestin generic buy aygestin generic This war will not stop until we are free.”
Ghulam Hassan Dar told them, “I don’t care much about what the world is calling him. His own people call him a martyr. We had a funeral for him here, and 20,000, 30,000 people came.
“I am proud of my son. Proud in the sense that whatever he did in joining militant ranks, he did it because of his people.”
