India announced the killing of Kashmir's long-surviving rebel Riyaz Naikoo. We trace his path to insurgency
Naikoo, one of the longest surviving rebels, was renowned for his ability to keep the ranks of Hizbul Mujahideen together at a time when one of his close associates Zakir Musa had a falling out with him. While Naikoo strived to keep the focus of armed rebellion on the political solution of Kashmir, Musa wanted to take the insurgency beyond the margins of the Kashmir conflict and merge it with the aims and ambitions of global terror group, Daesh.
The call left an impact as several policemen submitted resignations and many among them even uploaded recorded statements on social media, seeking Naikoo's forgiveness. , Naikoo said he and his outfit morally supports all struggles against tyranny. From a young age, Zeba told the Huffington Post in late 2018, Naikoo was a quiet, soft-spoken boy, who loved to paint roses and read the Koran. He was studious by nature and scored well in school. He was good at mathematics too, and as he became an adult, he began teaching the subject in a private school.
On several occasions, Naikoo has used Kanafani's quote — "the conversation between the sword and the neck" — to defend his position of saying no to direct talks with India. Naikoo supported the idea of a peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute only if a dialogue was held between the rightful parties, which meant India, Pakistan and the Kashmiri leadership.
