In August 2000, Aksari denounced the decision of those within the Kashmiri resistance group Hizbul Mujahideen who had recently agreed to enter into a ceasefire with Indian forces. According to The Hindu he was then "the head of the al-Badr faction of the Hizb" and he stated those who agreed to the ceasefire should be "dealt with as other traitors are" He was quoted again in November 2000, rejecting the idea of a ceasefire, saying "We do not accept or believe India. Jihad is the only solution.".
