Saleem Ahmed

As he set up shop in Kashmir's main city on Thursday, Saleem Ahmed had little truck with Al-Qaeda's call to turn India's only Muslim-majority state a key battlefield of a new jihad across South Asia.

Saleem Ahmed, survivor hero of the Jama Masjid firing incident, who shooed-away terrorists by pelting them with stones while they were firing at some Taiwanese tourists on September 19, 2010, is starting afresh. He is soon to open a paan shop in Ghazipur Murga Mandi area with the reward money he received from various organisations.
