Met Tiger Memon After 1993 Blasts, Says Kashmir Legislator
SRINAGAR: Former militant-turned Congress legislator Usman Majeed today stoked a controversy by claiming he had met Tiger Memon after the 1993 Mumbai blasts in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir during which he seemed "worried" about his brother Yakub's surrender, fearing Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) might kill him.
Mr Majeed's claim comes a day after Yakub was hanged in Nagpur Central Jail.
"I met Tiger in 1993. I met him two-three times. He used to come to our office in Muzaffarabad (capital of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir). I was not friends with Tiger. Hilal Beg, the founder of the Students Liberation Front and chief of Ikhwan-ul-Muslimeen militant outfit introduced me to him," the legislator from north Kashmir's Bandipora claimed.
