Pakistans assertion of not supporting terrorists and claiming kashmir unrest is indigenous is shattered by the notorious terrorist hafiz saeeds statement. Given his statement there is no way pakistan can deny it is sponsoring terrorism in India.

Hafiz Saeed claims responsibility for Akhnoor attack on Indian soil by Pakistani terrorists

In a recent turn of events, Jamaat-ud-Dawa head Hafiz Saeed claimed on Wednesday that four 'mujahideen' attacked an Indian military camp in the Jammu region on Monday and that they "returned safely, having suffered not a scratch."

He was addressing hundreds of Jamaat-ud-Dawa activists at an "orientation session" on Wednesday in Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

"They say they cleaned up 10 rooms and killed 30 soldiers, and destroyed the entire camp," he said.

According to the Indian version, on Monday, near Akhnoor, a camp of the General Reserve Engineer Force (GREF), located two kilometres from the LoC was attacked by terrorists. This attack led to the death of three casual labourers of the GREF, while injuring another.

“Four young men, day before yesterday in the evening, entered the camp at Akhnoor, Jammu. I am talking about something recent, it’s not an old event, it happened two days ago,” Saeed said in a tape running a little more than two minutes, reported Hindustan Times.

Saeed described the attack as a 'surgical strike' on Indian soil by Pakistan and told his audience that jihad (holy war) was the only way to liberate Kashmir from India. He also said that it was the religious duty of people in Kashmir and Pakistan to take part. “(Prime Minister Narendra) Modi also talked about a surgical strike, I had replied to Modi. Nawaz Sharif doesn’t reply to Modi, I reply to Modi, by the grace of God. And he (Modi) only accepts my reply, not the reply of anyone else,” he said.

Taking multiple digs on Modi, he said, “I said Modi, you made a false claim, Indian troops are being dropped by helicopter and they ran a movie. They are very good at making magnificent movies. Movies are one thing, fighting is another, so they ran a movie about carrying out surgical strikes, we crossed the border and killed 40 jawans of Lashkar-e-Taiba and went back. This was a drama, a film made to fool the world.”

Saeed added, “But you have given an opportunity and the mujahideen will tell you what is a surgical strike…I am telling you about the strike carried out two days ago, in a place like Jammu where they say nobody dares to enter. Four mujahid entered the camp, cleaned up 10 rooms and killed 30 soldiers. They destroyed the camp, burnt it and all four came back safely.”

Saeed has remained a bone of contention in the already strained relationship between India and Pakistan. He is wanted by India and the US for his alleged role in masterminding the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai that claimed 166 lives. He even carries a bounty of $10 million (over Rs 66 crore) on his head for his role in the attack.

Pakistan claims to have banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) but following the attack on the Indian Parliament in 2002, it re-emerged as Jamaat-ud Dawa (JuD). The United States has designated the JuD as a front for the LeT.

Modi replies only to me, not Pak PM, Hafiz Saeed says in brazen speech

New Delhi, Jan 13: Nawaz Sharif does not reply to Narendra Modi. It is I who reply to Modi, the big boss of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba, Hafiz Mohammad Saeed said in a brazen disclosure. You made a nice movie when you claimed that you had carried out a surgical strike across the Line of Control, Hafiz said at Muzzafarabad on Wednesday.

In September last year, India had carried out a surgical strike across the Line of Control following the attack at Uri in which over 18 soldiers of the Indian Army died. While Pakistan dismissed India's claims, Hafiz Saeed too joined the bandwagon while terming the strikes as a well made movie.

"The Pakistan Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif did not reply to Modi. It is I who replies to Modi by the grace of God. Modi accepts only my reply, " the Lashkar-e-Tayiba chief further went on to say.

Speaking further about the surgical strikes, Saeed said that India is very good at making movies. They ran a movie about the surgical strikes. India claimed that it had killed 40 Lashkar-e-Tayiba operatives. This was a movie made to fool the world, Saeed further went on to say.

Saeed goes on to speak about the recent Akhnoor attack in which four terrorists had entered an General Reserve Engineering Force camp and killed three workers. This was in Jammu and India says none can dare enter this area. This was a surgical strike on India and the operatives cleaned up the camp.

Pakistan's Hafiz Saeed: Is charity leader linked to Kashmir attacks?

The head of a Pakistani charity accused of masterminding terror attacks has indicated he has inside knowledge of a deadly raid on India's military in disputed Kashmir.

It's the first time in several years that Jamaat-ud Dawa head Hafiz Saeed or any other jihadi leader in Pakistan has made such remarks.

So why is he able to make such comments so openly?

What did he say?
Hafiz Saeed was addressing hundreds of Jamaat-ud Dawa activists at an "orientation session" on Wednesday in Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The charity's activities include running schools and hospitals.

Hafiz Saeed said that four "mujahideen" attacked an Indian military camp in the Jammu region on Monday, and had "returned safely, having suffered not a scratch".

"They say they cleaned up 10 rooms and killed 30 soldiers, and destroyed the entire camp."


Indian media reported that three "labourers" had been killed in a night time attack at a camp for the General Reserve Engineer Force in the Akhnoor area, near the border with Pakistan.

"The heavily armed terrorists went on the rampage for almost an hour. Eyewitnesses said they opened fire indiscriminately," India's NDTV channel reported.

Hafiz Saeed told his audience that jihad (holy war) was the only way to liberate Kashmir from India, and that it was the religious duty of people in Kashmir and Pakistan to take part.

He described the attack as an example of the "character of the partisans of the Prophet".

"This is the surgical strike," he said - an apparent sideswipe at India's largely discredited claim of having carried out "surgical strikes" on militant camps on Pakistan's side of the border in late September.

He did not say whether the Akhnoor attackers were linked to his organisation, or which bases they "returned to safely".

Why speak now?
Kashmir-focused jihadi groups have become increasingly visible since tensions between Pakistan and India rose after militants killed 19 Indian soldiers at Uri in Kashmir in September.

Pakistan denied any link to the attack.

Hafiz Saeed, who founded the Lashkar-e Taiba militant group, and other Jamaat-ud Dawa leaders have been holding anti-India rallies in Pakistan as well as Kashmir.

Jaish-e-Mohammad, another Pakistan-based militant group, has also been holding open recruitment sessions in mosques across Pakistan.

In December, Hafiz Saeed addressed a rally in Quetta, in which he accused India of inciting violence in Balochistan province.

Groups involved in militant attacks in Indian-administered Kashmir have kept a low profile since a ceasefire in 2003.

Their reappearance in the public domain coincides with a rise in protests in Indian-administered Kashmir and Pakistan's worsening relations with India and Afghanistan.

What is Hafiz Saeed accused of?
India and the US accuse him of masterminding the 2008 terror attacks on Mumbai.

The US has imposed sanctions on his organisation, saying the self-declared charity is a front for militant group Lashkar-e Taiba and has offered a $10m (£5.87m) reward for his arrest.

The Mumbai attack by Pakistani gunmen claimed 166 lives. Nine gunmen were also killed.

Pakistan also banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in 2002, following an attack on the Indian parliament. But observers say it re-emerged as Jamaat-ud Dawa which has continued to operate although it was put on a Pakistani terror watch list in 2015.

Hafiz Saeed has since founded another charity by the name of Falah-e-Insaniyat (Welfare of Humankind).

But many in Pakistan believe these charities are a front for LeT.

What does this say about Pakistan?
In Pakistan, Hafiz Saeed's remarks are being seen by observers as a veiled claim of involvement in attacks in Kashmir, and the aim appears to be "motivational", they believe.

Significantly, Pakistan's intelligence agencies have long been blamed for promoting a radical Islamist narrative and using militant groups as a bulwark to protect the military's financial and security interests.

Many fear an apparent crackdown on bloggers and human rights activists falls into this narrative and is meant to further radicalise elements in society.

In Pakistan militant groups often banned under international pressure are frequently allowed to re-emerge and operate freely under new names while their sympathisers troll secular social media activists with impunity.

So what should be Indian response after another proof of Pakistans involvement? More Surgical strikes? Super duper hyper power needs to do something.
