Thread: Mob burns down JUD hospital in PoK

  1. #1
    Angry crowds in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir have burnt down a hospital set up by Jamaat-ud-Dawa, set up by Lashkar-e-Tayiba founder Hafeez Sayeed, after the outfit's cadre allegedly killed a boy and injured two others in a land dispute.
    The JUD has been banned by the United States for its role in terrorist activities and India has criticised the Pakistani government for permitting to let it work in PoK in the aftermath of the October 2005 earthquake there.
    The crowd set on fire the huge 'set up' of the JUD on Monday at Pajgran village near PoK capital Muzafarabad after a boy was shot dead and two others were wounded, allegedly by people belonging to the outfit, local daily Dawn reported, quoting police and eyewitnesses.
    JUD in a press release from its headquarters in Lahore however, said local 'land mafia' set fire to its surgical hospital set up to treat the 2005 earthquake victims.
    Saeed claims that the JUD is an Islamic NGO currently involved in relief operations of the 2005 earthquake-affected people in PoK.
    The newspaper quoted police as saying they had arrested over a dozen activists of JUD, including the one who had allegedly shot dead 17-year old Adnan Shah.

    However, JUD said its cadre has not fired a 'single shot' and alleged that some of them have been abducted.
    Residents of Pajgran village were quoted as saying that JUD refused to vacate the land provided by them for their activities after the 2005 earthquake.
    Some of them said they had handed over possession of their land along the right bank of a tributary of river Neelum to the JUD on humanitarian grounds so that a temporary set-up could be established.

    But JUD initiated efforts to permanently occupy the land under cover of a so-called lease despite opposition by the landowner, they said.
    JUD leader of the POK unit Abdul Aziz in a statement said that organisations surgical hospital was burnt down. Aziz criticised local police and administration for 'inaction' and held them responsible for the incident.
    Aziz said it was the responsibility of the POK government to provide security and protection to 'humanitarian organisations' providing relief to the survivors of the devastating earthquake.

    The local government 'had turned a blind eye toward the nefarious activities of the land mafia in the wake of the earthquake,' he said.
    'What will the people who send donations and aid for Kashmiris from all over Pakistan and the Muslim world think when they hear about what happens to humanitarian organizations and their projects in Pakistan,' he asked.
