Recent recruit and local Hizbul Mujahideen commander Riyaz Malik on Tuesday, warned against using the label of terrorists, according to a report in The Hindu, saying that they were mujahideen, “the torchbearers of humanity.” He also warned local residents against joining as Special Police Officers.

Local police should sit back home like employees of other departments. Death will be the fate of those policemen who continue performing duties. Indian agents also participate in rallies and foment trouble to give a chance to the forces to open fire.

Sympathetic to their loss, Malik also asked deceased CRPF commandant Pramod Kumar’s daughter and wife to visit Kashmir to “understand the pain” of the people, even as he warned of more attacks against security forces.
