Mahmoud claims that it is necessary that the "the jihadi movement becomes strong at the level of the subcontinent, and Muslims in the whole region stand behind the Kashmiri people.”
On Monday, another militant organisation named Al-Qarar released a video pledging alliance to the Islamic State’s head Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as reported by Scroll.
