The image often presented by Pakistan regarding Kashmir is that of ‘oppressed Kashmiris.’ However, a prominent Deobandi Maulana from Pakistan, Mufti Saeed Khan, who is also considered close to Imran Khan, recently made a revelation at a public forum that not only exposed the mentality of Pakistan’s so-called ‘jihad’ but also revealed the true mindset with which the alleged ‘mujahideen’ were operating in Kashmir.

This statement was made at a gathering titled ‘Kashmir and Our Hypocrisy.’ The video of his remarks is going viral on social media.

What Did the Maulana Say?

Speaking from the stage, Mufti Saeed Khan described the heinous crimes committed by so-called ‘mujahideen’ (terrorists) against Kashmiri women during the conflict in Kashmir.

He said:

“How much have we ourselves ruined the Kashmir issue? Sardar… they were 20-25-year-old boys… they were the chairmen of the Kashmir committee. He said that when the war in Kashmir started, they would go to the beautiful Kashmiri girls and bring a young girl for one loaf of bread. They narrate this with great pride. He has told a very ‘wonderful’ anecdote from his life.”

The Maulana also expressed regret that such incidents are recalled with ‘pride’ (fakhr), whereas they are against the basic teachings of Islam. He raised the question of how this could be called ‘jihad’ when innocent girls’ honor was being traded for a loaf of bread.

The Perspective of an Indian Islamic Critic: Exposing the Face of ‘Jihad’

According to Islamic critics in India and intelligence sources, this statement exposes the true mentality of Pakistan’s ‘jihad,’ which has long been falsely labeled as a ‘freedom struggle’ in Kashmir.

Let’s examine the key aspects revealed by this statement:

1. The Commercial Face of ‘Jihad’

The incident mentioned by the Maulana shows that the terrorists infiltrating Kashmir, or those born there, were not fighting solely ‘in the name of Islam.’ Women were treated as ‘spoils of war’ (ghanimat). The phrase “a girl for a loaf of bread” confirms that these people were neither custodians of religion nor well-wishers of Kashmiris. It is an example of a perverted mentality where innocence was exploited at the cheapest price.

2. The Hypocrisy of the Deobandi Ideology

Mufti Saeed Khan belongs to the Deobandi school of thought and is considered close to Imran Khan. The Deobandi school is known in Pakistan and India for its strict Sunni ideology. This statement is proof that even these so-called religious leaders are now realizing how much their policies have harmed Kashmir. However, the question remains: for years, these same people were funding and encouraging these ‘mujahideen,’ bestowing upon them the status of ‘martyrs.’

3. Exploitation of Kashmiris: A Pakistan-Orchestrated Conspiracy

This statement exposes the truth that India has always maintained: Pakistan never considered Kashmir its ‘crown jewel,’ but rather used it as fuel for its own ambitions. The true Kashmiris (Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs) have been the victims of this ‘jihadi’ mentality. Kashmiri Muslims themselves suffered the most at the hands of Pakistani terrorists — their lives were ruined through rape, looting, and terror.

4. The Falsehood of Imran Khan’s ‘Justice’

Maulana Saeed Khan is known to be close to Imran Khan. When Imran Khan was in power, he spoke of ‘Kashmiri rights’ to the entire world. This statement from a Maulana close to him and his party makes it clear that Pakistani politics used Kashmir merely as a propaganda tool. When his own associate admits that Kashmiri girls were raped in exchange for bread, Imran Khan’s narrative of ‘justice’ stands exposed as false.

Intelligence Agency Report: The Mental Pattern of ‘Jihad’

According to intelligence sources, this statement reveals the mental pattern of Pakistan-sponsored ‘jihad,’ where:

· Women were war materiel: They were treated as property.
· Religion was misused: Sexual violence was justified in the name of religion.
· Local population was used as shields: Kashmiri Muslims were used as human shields while atrocities were committed against their own daughters.

Conclusion: The Truth of Kashmir is Now Before the World

This is not the first time a Pakistani cleric or leader has admitted to the atrocities committed by ‘mujahideen’ in Kashmir, but it is certainly one of the most explicit public admissions. By narrating the story of “Kashmiri girls for a loaf of bread,” Mufti Saeed Khan has exposed the hypocrisy that Pakistan calls ‘Kashmiri freedom.’

From the Indian perspective, this statement is proof that if there are any ‘oppressed’ people in Kashmir, they are the women and common citizens, who have suffered the most at the hands of Pakistani terrorists and their patrons. Now that a Maulana from Pakistan himself has revealed this cruelty committed in the name of religion, it is time for the world to recognize this ‘jihadi’ ideology for what it truly is.
