Lashkar asks Pakistan not to deviate from its stand on Kashmir

Srinagar, Mar 16 (UNI) The banned Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has asked Pakistan not to deviate from its stand on Jammu and Kashmir and continue with its support to the people of the state ''morally, politically and diplomatically''.

In a statement to the local media from here, the LeT said nobody would be allowed to make a sell-out of the sacrifices made by the people of the state.

''We hope Pakistan will not deviate from its stand on Jammu and Kashmir and continue to support the people politically, diplomatically and morally,'' it said.

Another militant organisation Hizb-e-Islami, in a statement, said thousands of people have sacrificed their lives for ''freedom struggle''.

''No group or individual would be allowed to sabotage the movement,'' it claimed.

The outfit termed as ''timely'' the protest demonstrations of the Muzaffarabad-based United Jehad Council against the Pakistan government.
