An audio which is set to widen the chasm between terror organisations operating in Kashmir has been released by Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, an Al-Qaeda cell in Jammu and Kashmir.

The eight-minute audio, which seems to be a note exchanged between the two most wanted terrorists in the state who have been eliminated in separate operations, slams Pakistan's ISI-backed groups for collecting donations in the name of 'Jihad' for Kashmir.

The audio has been released through Ansar's media arm, 'Al Sindh Media'.

The second part of the conversation, purportedly between Abu Dujana, a former Lashkar commander who became an Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind terrorist, and the group's founder Zakir Musa, gives details on how pro-Pakistan terrorists were hounding those who abandoned Pakistan-sponsored terrorism in the region. One of these operatives is Abu Dujana, who switched from Lashkar to Ansar after an ideological rift with the group.

Both the terror commanders give details to how they were harassed by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists on leaving their group and following a pan-Islamist ideology.

In the conversation, they also blame Hizb-ul-Mujahideen for harassing families of some terrorists who defected from Hizb to Ansar.

Criticising stone-pelters who shout pro-Pakistan slogans, he is heard telling Musa that they are being misled and they don't die as 'martyrs'.

Dujana had succeeded Abu Qasim as Lashkar-e-Toiba divisional commander in 2015 after he was killed in an encounter with the security forces.

Dujana and Zakir discuss the flow of weapons in Kashmir from Pakistan. Dujana says groups like Hizb, LeT and JeM collect donations in the name of Islam in Pakistan, then buy weapons which are dispatched to Kashmir for 'Jihad'.

In the conversation, they question terror outfits that "snatch" weapons bought with money collected through donations in the name of 'Jihad'.

"This is a fight for land for Pakistan. If they are so sincere, why don't they save Muslims in China?" Musa tells Dujana.

This has once again brought the cleft between the terror groups operating in Kashmir out in open.

Zakir, a harsh critique of separatist politics, had once threatened to behead separatists in Srinagar. He had called on terror groups to enforce Shariah, seeking an Islamic struggle. Dujana, from Gilgit Baltistan, had snuck into the Valley around 2011 and was the most wanted terrorist there.

Keeping An Eye Out

Although the Indian security establishment believes there is no immediate threat from pan-Islamist group by Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, it is keeping a close eye on the situation.
