Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief Hafiz Saeed addresses rally at Minar-e-Pakistan

LAHORE: Outlawed Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief Hafiz Saeed, who orchestrated the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, today addressed a public rally at the ground of historical monument Minar-e-Pakistan here spewing venom on India and the US.

Saeed, who roams around freely in Pakistan despite being a designated terrorist, said the " Pakistanis and Kashmiris are blood brothers and they cannot be separated."

"The elections in Kashmir cannot be a substitute of plebiscite," Saeed, who is also the founder of banned terror group Laskar-e-Taiba, told his supporters.

Speaking at the two-day congregation of JuD, Saeed said: "Efforts are being made to declare Jihad terrorism."

Saeed, who was guarded by JuD men, said some elements had been trying to make Pakistan a slave of the US, the World Bank and IMF.

"The JuD will foil all such decisions," he added.
