The chief of Pakistan-based terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen, Syed Salahuddin has said in a video that the Indian security forces are stronger in the Kashmir valley.

He also claimed responsibility of the recent gunbattle between terrorists and security forces in Handwara. “Mujahideens broke the back of enemy (Indian Army) in Handwara Rajwara but the enemy has an upper hand,” he stated in thee 52-second long clip.
