Jamaat leaders from J&K, PoK
and Pak to meet in Saudi

Leadership of pro-Pakistan Jamaat-e-Islamia on both sides of the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir is to meet in Saudi Arabia in the next few days to work out a new strategy in the face of growing yearning for peace in the state.

Sources in the separatist movement said on Sunday the chief of the JeI G M Bhat is likely to travel to Saudi Arabia where he will hold discussions with Pakistan-based supreme commander of the Hizbul Mujahideen Syed Sallahuddin.

Hizbul is the armed wing of the JEI. Unconfirmed reports said commander of the Hizb in J&K Abdul Majid Dar, who had announced an unilateral ceasefire in July, may also participate in the meeting.

The sources said several leaders from Jamaat-e-Islamia Pakistan were also slated to attend the meeting.

A Hizbul Mujahideen spokesman Saleem Hashim said in Islamabad that Syed Salahuddin had already left for Saudi Arabia to hold the meeting aimed at working out fresh strategy to be followed in J&K 'in view of the changed scenario'.
