Islamabad: Chairman Mutehida Jihad Council Syed Salahuddin has disclosed that Pakistani origin US citizen Mansoor Ijaz, who got fame on the disputed memo, offered an economic package to Muttahida Jihad Council over ceasefire in Indian Occupied Kashmir.
Talking to “South Asian News Agency (SANA)” exclusively Syed Salahuddin said that on refusal of this package by Mutahida Jihad Council, Mansoor Ijaz along with his mother came to Muzaffarabad to meet Syed Salahuddin for ceasefire in Indian Occupied Kashmir. Mujahideen gave threat to Mansoor Ijaz and said to not insist over ceasefire issue; otherwise, there would be danger for him.
The Chief of Muttuhida Jihad Council Syed Salahuddin said that in 2001 the Chief Commander of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen Majeed Dar declared ceasefire without the consultation of Mujahideen command.
He kept this condition that the ceasefire will remain exist if India calls back its troops from Occupied Kashmir, continuation of trilateral talks and the acceptance of Kashmir dispute.

Her mother said that for the development of roads, schools and hospitals in Kashmir, funds would be allocated for its development. These funds would be spent by my (Salahuddin) will.
